Block Leave

At the end of July, we went on yet another cross country road trip. You'd think we would've learned our lesson the first time, but when you have several places to visit and are on an Army budget, driving is the most economical choice. We left and headed toward Georgia first to visit B's grandmother and some very good friends of ours. We also got to visit with his cousin while we were there so that was a bonus. We were there for a few days and then went to Crawfordville, FL for B to recertify for his SCUBA Instructor card. We met up with Gregg Stanton at Wakulla Diving Center to catch up with him and his family and so B could complete his in-pool and open water training. From there we headed to PC for the open water portion. This is where I became involved in the training because I got to do some diving also. We saw our friend Trey and were able to catch up with him . That was awesome because we haven't seen or heard from him in quite a long time. He was the captain for the dives in the gulf. After the diving was completed we headed back in and stopped in a bay to see some dolphins. If I had not been behind the camera, I would've jumped in with them just like the boys did. Still kinda upset I didn't but such is life. We stayed with my parents and it was nice spending some time chilling out with them and my bro's family. During this time, we trekked over to ValP to visit with B's aunt and uncle. B and I left the kiddo with my parents so we could take a cruise with just the two of us. It was nice to be able to stay up late and do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. We went diving in Cozumel and visited the Mayan Ruins from Calica. The water was so clear and our tour guide was so great. Wonderful excursions! We also met a couple at dinner that were great company during some of the shows and entertainment. We are now FB friends with them :). After we got back to PC, we headed home. The trip was long and hard at times but we were all glad to be back home.
