Visiting An Old "Home"

Tin and I went to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, CA.  It is the second largest Base in the United States and when you enter the Front Gate at the Marine Corp base there are several options you can go on Base.  There is the Ocean and Beach to the west, mountains and a lake to the north, the south is the shopping area of the base and to the east is more of a desert type area.  In the middle is where a lot of the business of the Marine Base happens.  It runs from Oceanside, CA all the way up north to San Clemente, CA and from the Pacific Ocean to Fallbrook, CA to the east.  We call it "home" because we spent several weeks through out the past four years living at the Lake O'Neill Campground.  So when we entered the base yesterday we had a sense of being home.  We had lunch at the lake and then drove around the campground just for old time sake.  It was a good day!
