The vacation was great. I took my grandson Jason to Washington DC for his high school graduation present. We had a lot of fun. Our favorite parts were the Museum of Natural History - that's Jason's interest -, our Segway Masonic tour based on Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, and the tour of Gettysburg, but for me there were so many moving moments. The National Archives with the Charters of Freedom including the Magna Charter was exceptional and the Changing of the Guard at Arlington leaves you speachless. I had been to DC as a child, and once briefly a few years before, but this was my first extended trip as an adult. And I think everyone should go at least once.
Now that I'm back, I took only two days to catch up on the orders. Phew! Thanks for your patience. But I am dealing with what many of you are. My son is back in the Persian Gulf, this time in Afghanistan. Here he is in training at Fort Jackson. It is odd seeing my Navy son in Army gear, but he is going to be in a support role at Baghram Airfield. Hopefully, he will return safe as will all of your loved ones.
