Camp Blanding
Our day yesterday started at 5 a.m. as we loaded up the Tahoe and met two of Andrew's Sea Cadet friends at Denny's to carpool up to Camp Blanding Joint Training Center for Florida's National Guard near Starke, Florida. Dave and I volunteered to drive....what were we thinking trying to do it all in one day?? It wasn't that bad, we actually enjoy driving as it's the only time we can talk with no major distractions.
We arrived in Starke around noon time and fed the boys a good lunch at Sonny's Barbeque. Once they were full, they changed into their dress white uniforms as per their orders and we headed over to beautiful Blanding on Kingsley Lake. The trio was so excited, why I don't know, for two weeks of intense boot camp in the middle of a state know for it's heat and humidity. I guess it's a guy thing!
Anyway, we'll be making the trip up again ten days from now for their graduation ceremony. There will be a nice group from their unit going up so it should be fun. Oh yeah, and this time we're spending the night in a hotel!
