I know it has been a while since we update the old blog here, but we just been so busy. We did manage to squeeze in a camping trip. We actually went with Steve on one of his weekends on base.
Westover AFB actually has a pretty nice camping area. We roasted marshmallows, did a little grilling and everything else that comes with camping. The only snag in our plan was the
torrential down pours and severe thunder and lightening, which by the way cause the alarms to go off on base. SO fun. Jack slept through it. Not so bad. We did also have a ground hog that lived on the camp site, which we had to distract from him because if we didn't he would have
smeared with sunscreen (not kidding). Only complaint: Where the bathrooms were located! Made for a shower fiasco, but that is a story for another time!!
Not long ago, Steve was able to re-visit Lackland Airforce Base down in San Antonio. We headed down with to see Steve's brother Tony graduate from basic traing. We went wih Mary, Tony's girlfriend and Aunt Dineen, while Jack stayed at Nina's house. I knew Steve was looking forward to going back to the base since the last time he was there was during his own graduation that was two years ago. We had such a great time. The graduation was great! Everyone did such a good job. Tony looked so happy to see Mary and Mary was SO excited to see him! I reminded me of being so excited waiting to see Steve two years ago. Also San Antonio is the prettiest part of Texas. The riverwalk area down town is so amazing. We took a riveboat cruise and learned all about the area which was so interesting. I think I would like to live there! A quick side note- On the way home I professed my love of Steve to the guy boarding us on the flight in Memphis!
