Hi Jax Mom... Where is your SR traveling to?? Mine is going to Missisippi after BC so we will be going to the airport to see her off as well hopefully. How many people are in your group?? We are renting a car and since she won't be with us as far as I know on the trip to the airport if the car is large enough we might be able to link up. I won't know until it gets closer but I can tell you Ace Rentals has the best price possible on any vehicle but you must tell them the military discount code to get it. Also, if you use a debit card they do not charge a deposit. To the Navy families coming for graduation and all the other ones do. We are staying at Sprinhill Suites Marriot probably near yours. We are from Florida as well in Tallahassee. Get some snow boots not regular ones, you will need the rubber soles to keep you from sliding and to stay warm. Dicks sporting goods has the best price I found and you can get them on line if you don't have a store near you. They were 45.00 and are very warm and well insulated. You can get frost bite if you don't have the right shoes. Layer your clothes make sure you have scarves for your neck a hat and a very warm jacket. Got jackets at Burlington very reasonably priced and heavy with double lining. Hope this info helps and hope we can link up at meet and greet she is in div 68. Happy holidays to you and everyone and come on January 24th!!!!

We are also at Navy Lodge. I don't remember reading anything about them having a pool though.

Hi djk's mom... Don't believe they have a pool at all. Maybe if timing is right we are at the Sprinhill suites Marriot and maybe he can come over there they have an in ground heated pool inside. My 2 boys are 15 and 24 so they could keep him company. We'll have to see how things go but keep that in mind hope that helps. We are coming in Wednesday and leaving out on Sunday.

You probably don't need to invest in "snow boots" if you don't have them or need them, but warm socks (wool) would be a good option, and several pair. :) I wouldn't wear tennis shoes (although I do, but I am from Colorado), but a pair of shoes that "can" get wet yet keep your feet dry would be good.
The sidewalks will be shoveled wherever you go, and the roads will be plowed.
