A Wonderful Weekend with Natalie in DC


Nora and I flew up to DC on a get-a-way flight to visit Natalie in Georgetown. We hadn't been in DC in 10 years and we got to do a little tourist stuff and spend some quality time with Nat. She looks great and you can see her with her new car. Her charges were out of town so we didn't get to meet Duncan and Jackson, but we heard all about them. Georgetown is a beautiful place to live and Natalie is a great guide. Try her out!! She has the best Indian (Bombay not Blackfoot) Restaurant to take you . We also showed our age by going to a Beachboy Concert at Wolf Trap in Virginia. When Nora and I arrived at the concert with Natalie we probably dropped the average age of the spectators by 3-5 years. I actually felt young there.

The Korean War Memorial


This was my first trip to see the Korean War Memorial and it was a wonderful tribute to the warriors of the 50's. It made me appreciate missing that one!

Trip to the WWII Memorial




Natalie, Nora and I went to the WWII Memorial this weekend and it was magnificent and long overdue. I found the first picture at the Park Ranger Station and found this very young man. I decided it was either a 60 year old picture of Dad or a 30 year old picture of Steve in his Aggie uniform. They do look alike. I had to get the Army/Marine seals together.

It is official: Dave is now a real Texan



Not sure if Dave is feeding the bull or shooting the bull. Now that Dave has been to the ranch, feed the cows and driven the gator. He has been officially adopted into the brotherhood of Texans. He has been blessed.!! P.S. Ellie gets hers by birth.

David Going Back After a 96 Hour Pass

We had a great 4th weekend with David home from Camp Leguene for a 96 hour pass. He now shaves his head every morning as well as his chin(nicks on both). He returned with the Chevy S-10 passed down from Nat to Mary to David. He plans to go to Myrtle Beach this weekend to see Rachel and Dave. We hope to see him for another 96 at Labor Day, if not sooner. He'll be going to Camp AP Hill in July to do squad and team training.

Natalie and Michael Spending the 4th in DC


Natalie and Michael spent the 4th watching the fireworks on the Mall in DC. They are both doing great. Michael is working 60 hours a week and Nat is having a great time caring for Jackson and Duncan. They find Washington a wonderful place live, even if it is on the expensive side.
