I can't come tomorrow :( just have too many athletic events on the calendar that day. Hope to make it next time.
J Peder, Looking forward to seeing you Saturday. It also looks to be decent weather for us traveling.
Yahoo a Saturday that I don't have to work!! I should be able to make the gathering at Cowboy Jacks!!
Well that didn't quite come out the way I expected, but the address is there.
My sailor and his new wife (wedding was 1/3) will be leaving tomorrow to go back to VA. So I will bring pictures, and will definitely need some Navy Mom time.
Here is the location for the gathering on January 17
