A number of mates have requested concerning the Pilot’s work scenario! The Pilot is ending his Air Force retirement proper now and is commander of one of many squadrons. He’s nonetheless employed commercially and can head again to the airways after retirement.
The occasion was probably the greatest Air Force occasions I’ve attended.

It included the normal and extra somber elements of formal navy occasions (presentation of the colours, National Anthem, ceremony for fallen troopers and POWs, along with the awards and recognition), and the reside performances have been such a considerate option to make the occasion much more partaking and gratifying.
We stayed on the Wigwam Resort, which was the place the banquet was held, and the children have been obsessive about it. We undoubtedly must to again and produce our swimsuits for the water slides! We had breakfast on the resort earlier than mountain climbing Camelback.
(I had the in a single day oats, eggs, and an orange juice, and the Pilot and I cut up an acai bowl as a result of we each needed to attempt it)
The children mentioned we couldn’t go to Phoenix with out mountain climbing Camelback, so in fact we needed to take them. I really like that they get pleasure from mountain climbing as a lot as we do! Camelback is a reasonably grueling hike with steep elevation, however they crushed it as at all times.
After our hike, we hit the highway again to Tucson! It was enjoyable to finish one journey with one other, however undoubtedly made the week a little bit of a scramble. I didn’t get groceries till Tuesday and am nonetheless recovering from the laundry nightmare, however it was completely price it. 😉
