Mike's Big Trip

Mike drove to Virginia Beach, VA after that and saw Brian graduate from his school, he's now
Petty officer Brian Bindewald! They then drove down to Wilmington, NC where his new base is. His ship already went out the week before, and Brian will be flying to meet it in the Grand Caymans on 2/15. They had a good time exploring the town, then Mike flew home Sunday evening. It was good to have him home...I sure missed him...the house is SO quiet!

Mike had a great trip! His main reason for the trip was to bring Brian's car out to him and see his graduation from E-school. But Grandpa had to stop and spoil his "Bozer" for a few days. He had a great time with Jason, Andrea, and Bo. Grandpa and Bo got to be great pals.

Great Grandma says a "funny"

'Had a visit last week with my mom, especially fun because Carol, Dawn and Wyatt were there, too. Wyatt has grown so much...it was fun making him smile! We were having a good time until mother brought up her "Chocolate Explosion!" Dawn got an apprehensive look on her face and said "I don't think I want to hear about that." I'm sure she must have been thinking about the "Peanut butter episode." Carol and I had a good laugh as we explained to Dawn that the chocolate explosion is the "dream" desert at one of the Waconia restaurants that no one seems to be letting her have.
