Good Morning!
"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying
'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn
to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left."
Isaiah 30:21
LuvMyBlues,
That's awesome!!
wmg,
Your new Sailor should know what time he has to be back at RTC~~
Happy Friday!
"My tongue will speak of Your righteousness
and of Your praises all day long."
Psalm 35:28
Happy PIRday!
Have a Blessed Liberty with your new Sailors!
Sorry, MommaBear....got your message too late to help you...hope you got there ok! Enjoy!
Yes, you sure can, MommaBear. It is about a 1/4-1/2 mile walk but doable. Many do this so they are right there if they want to take the train into Chicago after PIR. It is also a quick exit after PIR to get to wherever you are going with your new sailor! I believe that it is paid parking at the train station, but not too much, I don't believe.
