How was the graduation Navymom14?  October is great time to be in FL, it's starting to cool off.  What rate if your son?

Happy Fall everyone (a little late) !  Good to see you check in Jim!  How's your son doing? 

Great to hear you enjoyed your JAX visit Pam.  If I'd have been here sooner I could have reported staying at the Navy Gateway at JAX, it was very nice.  I live in California, so local info is through my daughter-in-law who is livng in the St. John area with her mom while my son is deployed.  I feel  bad for them, they've only been married 2 years and they'll miss all the holidays and both of their birthdays together this year and he was gone for Christmas last year too.  Such is the military life!  This is his 3rd deployment, and so far it's the hardest for me.  I do have some good news, my daughter is expecting her third child!  (my #3 grandbaby) next spring.  So may I know are having babies this year!

Oh & in December the sailor finds out what his new duty station will be.  Most likely he'll stay in JAX.  He's been on the P-8 as an AWO.

We visited Jacksonville last weekend before our cruise.  We stayed at the beach, which I absolutely loved.  The bike riders were so wonderful to see everywhere!  You try to do that here in Atlanta and you will be run over!  But we found Mayport and the Jacksonville Naval Air station.  I'm pretty sure my son is going to love it there.  Almost as much as I am going to love having him in the same time zone for the first time in nearly 6 years!  We picked up an apartment rental book for them.  Does anyone have any recommendations on where to live there?  He'll be at the hospital.

Wonderful - thank you!  We're headed out on a cruise out of Jacksonville on Oct. 5.  I seen that Mayport was a little further out, closer to the ocean.

We are also heading down the first weekend in October for our son's graduation! When our son was in Pensacola, it was very close to water, but it isn't in JAX. Maybe I will see you there!

Good to know - thank you!  We're heading down the first weekend in October and may end up staying there.  Is it near water?

Yes, I spent one night there. I liked it a lot, especially for the price. Keep in mind that if they don't have a room available, keep trying back. They often have cancellations and rooms open up. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Has anyone ever stayed at the Navy Lodge at the JAX naval base?

Tee-1, 

It's easier when they're single to say, "Your mother needs a kid-fix, so I'm coming down (over, up, or out) next weekend."  It's a whole new ballgame with the addition of a daughter-in-law.  I hope your visit is sooner rather than later! :)

I realized I hadn't checked in with this group in a while.  Thank you to those who do.  ReneeBC, yes I have already started planning to visit FL.  I can't go too long at a time w/o seeing my kid!!  When he gets back I'll be heading back there as soon as he's ready for a mom visit.
