Since Labor Day is a federal holiday, that already gave me a 3 day weekend. Then, the Air Force gave me Friday off. THEN, I took leave on Tuesday. In total? 5 day weekend baby! :-)
What made it really great was that Sharron came to visit me. We have definitely had some strain on our relationship over the last 3 months, and I’m not sure if one awesome weekend together will completely fix all of that, but I am definitely sure that we both realized that when we’re together we’re still as great as we were in Montgomery/Atlanta.
What did we do you ask? Well, as it turns out, not a lot. We had originally planned to go tour a castle, but I decided that with all the jetlag and such that Sharron wouldn’t be happy with a scheduled weekend. I then planned out several short outtings we could take if we wanted to, the shortest of which would be to just walk down to the creek a short ways from my house. In the end, we only did a tour of my base, a quick trip to one of the department stores and had a few dinners out. The rest of the time was just spent together doing usualy pAT and SEM type things. It really was a lot of fun. I can’t even remember when I laughed so hard. :-)
So now we’re looking at having her come over here for a longer visit before Christmas. Perhaps Thanksgiving through Christmas. I’ll keep you posted.
We did have all the great fun, huh? Thanks for the visit and all the fun! It is sad, though, that I had to come back to real life where everything isn’t nearly as funny. :0) Hopefully one day soon we’ll have more time to explore and travel around a bit.
Hooray! I’m glad you guys got some time together. :)
