My husband and I have flown all over the country for visits. Not so much lately as my 3rd and oldest boy is in the army and based in HI. His kids are living with us for now.

Looking forward to seeing my youngest son in a few weeks when the ship docks in Pearl Harbor. He's been on deployment on the CV for the past few months. We get to spend a few days enjoying the island then a few more days together on the cruise back to San Diego. 4 days after returning home my middle son will be home on leave from Florida for 2 weeks. So excited!!!!
