HERE IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT I NEED ALL OF YOU TO READ PRIOR TO COMING DOWN TO SAN DIEGO:

As we will staying on a military installation there are unique security protocols and access restrictions. Each vehicle coming on base must have proof of insurance and registration to be granted access. In addition, if you will be driving a vehicle that you do not own you must have either a letter from the owner stating you have permission to use the vehicle (for private vehicles) or a copy of your rental vehicle contract. In addition, every person 18 years or older must have an official government issued ID to come on base (drivers license, state ID, etc). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EACH OF YOU CONFIRMS THAT YOU HAVE THESE DOCUMENTS WITH YOU PRIOR TO COMING TO SAN DIEGO.

As most everyone will be arriving on the weekend, either Paij or I will have to escort you when you come on base. We will have to do so until Monday morning when the base pass & decal office opens. At that point I will take those of you that will be staying on base to get visitor passes for your vehicles. This will permit you to get on base without me escorting you. For those that will be staying off base I will need to meet you at the front gate to escort you on base each time you come on base. There are no restrictions for needing an escort to leave the base. It is only a few minutes from the cottages to the front gate of the base so we can communicate by cell phone to coordinate getting everyone on base.

Here is a MAP OF THE BASE and the location of key places on base (click on it to enlarge).


EOWYN'S BAPTISM will be held at 6:30PM on Sunday the 24th. The baptism will be held at the San Diego East Stake Center located at 6767 51st St, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, 92120, UNITED STATES.

For those wanting to attend CHURCH SERVICES while in San Diego there are two LDS meetinghouses about 20 minutes from the beach cottages with sacrament services starting at either 11:00 or 1:00.

In addition the US OPEN SAND CASTLE COMPETITION will be happening the weekend of the 23rd and 24th. The actual sand castles will available to view for free to the public on Sunday between 2-4PM. This competition is being held in Imperial Beach. More information is available by clicking HERE.

In addition, we can rent softball equipment for $10 if interested.

For meal planning purposes we will plan on having dinners combined. Each family can coordinate their individual breakfasts and lunches. Assignments will be made for dinner preparations and clean up. There is a grocery store on base that requires a military ID to utilize. Paij and I will purchase the food and let everyone know the per person breakdown for the dinners.

There are several options for FAST FOOD on base to include: Rubio's Fresh Mex, Subway, Rice King, Five Guys Burgers, McDonalds, and a pizza parlor.

The cottages have fully stocked kitchens that can be used to dinner preparations. In addition, there are barbeque grills/picnic tables next to the cottages. We also have multiple dutch ovens that can be used if interested.

Here is some additional information about the cottages along with pictures: include a fully-equipped kitchen, flat-screen cable TVs with a Blu-ray/DVD player, WiFi Internet access, linens, a private bath, patio, and BBQ. EACH COTTAGE ALSO COMES WITH A WASHER AND DRYER SO YOU CAN DO LAUNDRY WHILE YOU STAY THERE.









Please let me know if you have any questions.
Brent (619) 750-3164
Paij (619) 750-3189

We are looking forward to seeing all of you in less than two weeks!
