Just sharing what I have found today in my calls.
Hi all...Trattatoria is closed on Thanksgiving.
Full Moon has Thanksgiving dinner for free...1st com.
Lovells is VERY expensive!
Kimberly, Your son will be allowed to go in the hole on leave days for stand down. I don't remember the dates for stand down at TSC, but since the base "closes" your son will probably start leave at that time, and remain on leave until base reopens (unless he is scheduled for duty on base).
I don't know what your SRs rate will be, so I will be general for leave after A School. After A School, leave is only granted if the Sailor is headed to the fleet, and not attending C School. Leave is only granted between school and fleet assignment.
LoriM -
Thanks for those additional restaurant info! That diner will be perfect for breakfast!
There's also a sushi restaurant just up the road a bit from Lovell's restaurant - My SR LOVES sushi! Has anyone been there, and if so how's the food there?
Thanks everyone!
Splash,
I made our reservation for 3pm. (but I'm thinking 2:00 - 14:00 will be better.) Just in case my SR wants to go back to my hotel to take a nice HOT shower, perhaps take a nap, and relax before he and I eat dinner. I plan on bring some "comfy" clothes from home so he can change into. As long as he's in the hotel room, he can wear "his clothes" and then change back into his camo's. I also plan on bring his cell phone and perhaps his lap top. I know he misses those items and will want to make a few calls while he is off "base". I can not wait to see my SR and catch up!
Have a blessed day! Hope to catch up with you and your SR!
Trattoria is a restaurant there too,, that might have Thanksgiving dinner
Splash,,, what is the meds, and what has she said hurts??
I heard Lovells is quite expensive for Thanksgiving,,, check the price,, there is another family style place called Full Moon in Lake Bluff,,,
