Jeff was lucky enough to have BOTH blocks of leave over the holidays. He visited his family in upstate New York, and then spent 5 days in Virginia Beach! Being old and married, Dave and I did our best to entertain him. :) We hosted a nice Welcome-Jeff dinner at our apartment, where I made a full leg of lamb, which turned out well! We drove up to Annapolis to spend New Years with Nate and Cindy in Annapolis. On New Years Day we toured the USNA Yard and Annapolis, eating at the Aviator's Bar and stopping to see Jeff's Sponsor-Dad. Then we migrated back down to Virginia Beach and toured the USS Wisconsin and the Nauticus Museum, finishing the day with a nice meal out at Gordon-Beirsch. Then we got up at 4am to take Jeff to the airport. It was a really great visit, and it was too fun to have all the Chocolate Lions reunited.
A new Statue-Monument on the Yard that the boys just had to have a picture with.. Because they're aviators.
Only Alumni can enter through these doors. But they were locked. Ohwell, next time.
