A couple of weeks ago Mike had his normal drill days but this month was family day. We left early Sat. morning so that he could make it to check in at 8 am, the girls and I went out to breakfast and did a little touring of the local Walmart (not much is open so early on a Sat. morning). Then it was time to pick-up Mike and check into our hotel, which one of Mike's fellow guardsmen got for us at a discounted rate. Although we only had one double bed and the pool was to cold to swim in it was a nice hotel for cheap. The party started at noon so we headed to the BBQ which was at the American Legion building. It was quite the layout, big park, covered eating shelter, pond to swim and fish in and all the toys that the national guard brought to play with including a big blowup bouncy structure, climbing wall and go carts. We ate lunch and had a few treats (they had snow cone and cotton candy machines) and played at the park until Mike was released from duty. We spent the rest of the day shopping in Lynchburg and hanging out at the hotel. Sunday Mike had to drill again and so the girls and I stayed at the hotel until we could go to the National Guard Armory and tour around and see all the trucks and weapons they had on display, it was nice to see where Mike goes every month and meet some of the men and women he drills with. It was a fun weekend!
