Dunesmom my son does work on cars on his days off from the Navy. He is pretty good. He does all his own work and has many awards for his car. He is very reasonable. What is wrong with his car and what kind does he have?

Sounds like a great trip/visit ZZ's so happy for you.
I do have a question about Jacksonville.... are there any auto shops, reasonable, honest and quick in the area? Three different things went out on his car and he is pretty down. He went to the subaru shop and they told him 1500. to fix it for him. If he were home his Dad could help him put the parts on but down there no tooles or experience with his car on his own.

ZZsmom= Glad you had a great time. Wish it was warmer when you were here. It was 77 today and suppose to be a beautiful weekend. Still getting cold at night though. I have not rode the trolley in St Augustine yet but plan on it when my mom comes to visit in April. We were down there though when they lit the Holiday lights. It was pretty cool thing to see. Glad you have are planning another trip soon.

I have missed all of you this week. We had a major upset at work this week so getting onto the internet isn't as easy for me anymore.
We had a wonderful time seeing the girl. She seems to be getting out and about a little more since she has her car. She reported to her sqadron Tuesday afternoon to find there aren't any orientation classes until next month so it looks like little week long classes for her and a few others until then.
They told her Tuesday that she would be moving from student barracks to a more permanant room but she still hasnt gotten a new key under the door!
I have to suggest to everyone if you havent gotten the chance to visit St. Augustin DO! Awesome town. And the trolley gives military a buy one get one free on the basic package.
We also stopped at a roadside stand and bought strawberrys and oranges...AWESOMENESS!
I am already planning my next trip. Probably early April. I don't know if we will stay in the area or drive up to Charlston but I am excited.
I hope to be able to talk to you all soon. A big thank you to Kalynn...you rock! And I would love for you and my daughter to meet!

So glad you had a wonderful time ZZ's.... How is your girl doing? Did you tell her to get out and about? When you get time let us know all about it. Also happy you made it back safely.
