(Saturday May 30, 2009)
Just finished a great evening eating pizza and playing Phase 10 with Brandon and Savannah (NAS Oceana), Trever (USS Gunston Hall), David (USS Harry S. Truman), Brad (USS George Bush). By the end of the Phase 10 game I think we were all a little flaky! It was fun! We laughed a lot!! Check out the photos on our profile page if you like.

Michelle,
If you're into history Fort Monroe is close by and was where Jefferson Davis (confederate presdient) was imprisoned after the Civil War. Jamestown settlement is about 45 minutes away - great living history museum! Colonial Williamsburg is also a great living history museum (although tickets are necessary and pricey).
If you like sea food Captain George's is an all you can eat sea food restuarant that is fabulous - but quite expensive ($28.00). Macaroni Grill is a good place to eat here too (and much more reasonable).

Yvonne and I open our home on the weekends lfor sailors to come over for fellowship.
Tonight we had one sailor from the USS Fort McHenry and one from the USS Oakhill. We ate hot dogs and chips, ice cream and cookies for dessert, then played Phase 10 (a card game), and ended our evening taking turns praying for different prayer requests.
Tomorrow we'll start the day by going to Sunday School together at 0945, church at 1045 at Azalea Garden Church, and then back here to the house for a big home cooked dinner (home made bread, Yvonne's home made spaghetti, salad, and a lucious dessert).
While Yvonne finishes dinner we'll start a good movie. After we eat we'll do the washing up and then we'll finish watching the film and talk about it some, share prayer requests, and take turns praying together. Everything wraps up about 5:00pm.
We pick guys up at the ships if they don't have transportation and take them back too (no, we don't make them walk back :)

Sandy,
The Navy Lodge at Little Creek is new and very nice! I'm not sure of the cost. It is located near the base commissary and exchange and is in a nice green shaded area. Right now the weather here is getting pretty warm (mid to upper 80s). The humidity hasn't set in too bad yet.
Hope that helpts
God bless

Thanks Lora, Josh is so excited but sitting waiting at GL is getting to him. Something about the Riverines in training right now are backed up. I'm just looking forward to him coming home for 15 days before training. Wish they would let him go now, I could keep him longer. I've seen the Pentagon Channel, scares me a bit but he is a dare devil. No fear in anything. Scuba dives, sky dives, now this. Oh well, he'll have a blast!

Hi Connie, thanks for the wise words. Josh still waiting orders to leave GL. Says Riverines backed up so has to wait to leave. Wish he could come home the whole time. Says gets 15 days but needs official orders. Maybe soon. He can't wait to get on with it!!!

Hi all, son got orders and will be a Riverine in Rivron II. Says will be stationed in Little Creek but has to go to Camp Lejeune for a while. He should get to leave GL this week and home for 2 wks first. Anyone tell me about the Riverine training?

Valley and Martha,
I agree. A car is a necessity here. Everything is quite a distance from the base and there is really no good public transportation system. Taxis are really expensive too.

Welcome to the group, jenda. I truly hope you will enjoy your fellowship here with us. John

Lea,
Google Northampton Blvd and Diamond Springs Road. That is probably the nearest major intersection to Little Creek with a lot of Motels. There is a Quality Inn, a Red Roof Inn, an Econo Lodge, a Best Western and a Days Inn. They are all within about a five to ten minutes drive to Little Creek.
