I would think atleast a couple would be open since the RTC is right there, but now you have me worried. I guess I will start looking now as well. I will let you know if I find anything.

ok well I'm gonna keep looking. I called one of the hotels on the booklet he sent and the lady said that the restaurant inside their hotel is closed but she was nice enough to let me know that a nearby Dunkin Donuts will be open! lmao funny thing is that this is his favorite place!! He's addicted to coffee.

In my son's first letter, the tone was very terse and he said it would be great if we were able to make it out there on Christmas day. I had already told my wife that we wouldn't be able to fly out there twice. She cried for two days after reading his letter. After talking to him in person and reading his latest letters, she's feeling much better about that situation. We'll remain home on Christmas.

WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!! I didn't think I would, but I got a call tonight! He is doing so amazing! He was in dental all day yesterday and didn't get time to call. He was able to get a call out tonight and I seriously thought I was going to pass out when I saw 847 on my phone! He has been promoted once already and scored very high on his tests. He meets with an advisor tomorrow about A school placements. I am so excited to see him I can't stand it!! Better than Christmas morning!! YAY!!!

Yes, he talked non-stop. :) He sounded AWESOME!! Very upbeat and positive. :) He loves his division, said his fellow SRs are really great. I was in Mass when he called (I knew I would be) but I jumped out of my pew and literally ran out to get the call. lol I am pretty sure I smiled in my sleep all night and can't wipe it off this morning either. It was freaking awesome hearing his voice. I am so HAPPY!!! We talked for about 25 minutes before the PO kicked him off. It was awesome!!!
