Comment by karen p on August 3, 2011 at 11:00am: Having a great time here in Pax River spoiling my grand daughter. Going to find a beach tomorrow and have some fun in the sand. Lunch with mommy today then some shopping. Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by karen p on July 25, 2011 at 2:40pm: Angie I can't believe that we are just going to miss each other. The kids babysitter is going on vacation and they need someone to watch Lila. I can't wait. I get to spoil her for a whole week. Ya hot here too. Hot everywhere this summer.

Comment by karen p on July 22, 2011 at 7:04am: I am heading to Pax river next Fiday. Can't wait to see my sailor and spoil that grand daughter of mine.

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on July 21, 2011 at 1:01pm: Good afternoon, I just got back from visiting my sailor at Pax. What a wonderful area, it is a BEAUTIFUL base. The base has SO much there for you to do; when the weather is nice. But the base is not friendly to those without a vehicle! Everything is very far apart. We really enjoyed our visit, spent 2 days visiting the DC area & even took a day trip down to Norfolk & Virgina Beach.

Comment by karen p on June 8, 2011 at 12:07pm: Afternoon ladies. For those of you that would like to see alittle of whats happening at Pax, My daughter in law just finish a program and its on you tube just seach navair airwaves show 1. I think she did a great job. Angie glad you had a good time with the kids and baby.

Comment by karen p on May 3, 2011 at 7:51am: Morning everyone. Well just back from a long weekend visiting the son and family in Pax River. Weather was wonderful and we all had a great time with the grandbaby and her Christening. Home safe after the 14 hour drive.

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on April 25, 2011 at 5:15pm: My son is on base, the group he hangs out with is a pretty good group, they all live near each other in the barracks.

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on April 11, 2011 at 2:19pm: Karen, like you said they did get some snow, but you're right; nothing like we are used to. The Feb. 1 & 2 storm brought us about 16 inches of snow. He was very jealous! Yes, he does live on base. He is supposed to be an AD in VX1; but has been working in the line shack since about 2 wks after he arrived.

J & K, just the other day our son called home & spoke to his dad about some trees there on base & when he was done he said yes those would be Cherry Blossoms. I have a co-worker that was also stationed at Pax & she said the same thing about the allergies. I have forwarned him about it. We will see how he does. The is only one in the family that doesn't see to have them. Beautiful pics of your daughter & the puppy! ADORABLE!!! :)

Annie-Welcome. We look forward to getting to know you also. :)

Comment by karen p on April 6, 2011 at 3:21pm: Simply, My son said that they got snow there. maybe not what he is use to but a few inches. Does your son live on base? What does he do there?
