Anna being without power is a royal pain. I'm glad that you are back on the grid. Sounds like you made the beat of it and had a fun adventure. I'm with you on the hot tub!

Katski,
Welcome to the group - I sent you a personal welcome on your profile page. Have you searched for Boot Camp Moms group. That is usually where you can find others who may be in the same Ship/Div as your daughter. Also, as soon as you get the form letter with the information on your daughter's PIR, you can find a group that have sailors graduating on that same date. You may be able to connect with other new recruit moms that way. Then come here and let us know all about you and your sailor. We're here for the long haul!!!!

So I'm staying on Whidbey Island with Sailor Son and family. He took wife on a cruise to Mexico and I stayed with granddaughter. We had a storm come in on Thursday and several trees, telephone poles, and wires came down. Didn't get power back on until late Saturday afternoon!!! Took granddaughter to Seattle on Friday and treated her to a trip to the Aquarium, a ride on the Great Wheel, visit to Pike's Place, and spent a night in a really neat hotel. They had a giant Gingerbread house in the lobby (made of real gingerbread and candies), and a Teddy Bear Suite!!! My favorite place was the hot tub!!!!
