On the road again.....

We were up early, had breakfast, packed up and headed out.  I really don't like travel days!!!  Today I was really nervous and I'm not sure why.  It's not Bryan's driving as he is very very good.   I think it is the roads here in San Diego and California.  They are very very busy, that together with the fact that we are driving our home complete with everything we own.  I'm sure I will get used to it.  I don't think it has helped as we have had some minor things break and go wrong and I just worry about what will be next.  Now if we can go through a period where things are ok I will feel better.  I shouldn't worry because we are very lucky to be able to do this and the things that have happened so far haven't really stopped us, they are fixable.  Today, we put some wooden blocks under the steps to get in and out of Lily as they are loose and need rewelding.  These will work until we can get them fixed.
We are now at Lake O'Neill, Camp Pendleton We are in the middle of a marine base, it is huge!!!  There are tanks and military vehicles on the roads and they are practicing on the shooting range so we can hear some loud explosions.  That together with the helicopters flying over means we should have an interesting week.  Surprisingly, Co-Co seems unfazed by it.  Our internet is working, it is the first time we have used it.  Yay!!  
We got settled in and then went and explored the base.  We like to look in the military shops and see what they have.  The Exchange here is supposed to be the largest marine exchange in the States so I was excited to see it.  Hmmmm - sorry Marines but the Navy have you beat.  The Navy exchange in San Diego is much larger.
We took CoCo for a short walk tonight by the lake. The midges were out in force as it was getting near to dusk. Ugh!!!

Returning home after our walk
