20 March 2014

We arrived in Gulfport Ms. this evening.  We are staying at the Navy Lodge.  Of course as soon as we arrived we had to go for fresh shrimp.   We went to a restaurant called White Hat where we watched the sun set across the beautiful white sands of Gulfport beach.
We arrived in San Antonio on the afternoon of March 18.
We had a great few days in San Antonio.  Weather was perfect.  It was even warm enough to take a walk after dinner the evening we arrived.  Wednesday morning we met our friends Tom and Vicki Bader for breakfast at the Magnolia Pancake Haus.  What a neat restaurant and what great food.  We had a lemon poppyseed waffle that was so good.   We spent a couple hours catching up with Vicki and Tom,  who we were stationed with in Germany.   We decided that when we come to San Antonio, we will make it a tradition to meet with the Bader's at the Magnolia Pancake Haus .
We then had a really nice visit with Mark and Holly Tenn and their children at our billeting at Randolph AFB.   Mark and Holly were stationed at Davis Monthan with us several years ago.
Carrie called and we had FACE-TIME with Emme.  She gave her Nana and Granddad lots of  'Emme smiles".
Tom is just amazing at how long he can drive....of course we take breaks..today we even stopped at a Bass Pro Shop to get some exercise...hmmm.  I have been doing a lot of reading.
We have been blessed with safe travels and the best of friends that we have in our lives.
I still have not figured out how to add pictures to my blog...will keep trying..and maybe go to an Apple Store when we get to Charlotte and Bill's.
Tomorrow we will leave for Alabama to spend time with the Watkins and stop for lunch  with our friend Ann on the way.....aren't we lucky to have such friends to stop and visit!!
