Week 01 - Hello from San Diego - 08-20-2006

Hello friends,

After months of preparation and weeks of around-the-clock work, we locked the doors to the house and headed off to San Diego. We and Melissa stopped over at the East Shore RV Park at Bonelli Park next to Lake Puddingstone in San Dimas CA.

We spent a day with Melissa and then arrived at Campland on the Bay (Mission Bay). We spent five days with Melissa, Emily and her boyfriend, Chad. Emily and Chad were good hosts, driving us around in Emily's car. We got Melissa checked in the Point Loma Nazarene University where she begins as a freshman and Emily continues as a Junior. PLNU is situated right on the ocean with beautiful views and sunsets. We spent time with various staff and professors learning about the school. We are delighted to have both girls at the same place.

We left Mission Bay on Sunday and camped high on a hill next to a business where Pete will work on Monday. Then we are off for another week.

This photo is our front window view at the campground. At night we watched the Sea World fireworks from our living room.

Homeless and loving it,

Pete and Ellen Mattson
