Long Time No See!

Stone and I took a little road trip today to visit family.  Our nephew/ cousin is in Tech School at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX.  It is alway a treat to see family; we have not been able to make the long trek to Boston since 2007.    

Our first stop was the mall... Stone wanted to sit in all the ride-ons in the middle of the mall.  The ice cream truck was a great reminder of summer 1999.
After the mall we hit Chili's for some lunch... Billy has turned into such a gentleman and treated us to lunch!  
After the mall we hit Target so Billy could get a comforter and just walk around a store.  He has not had the chance to get off base for a  few weeks.  We then went to the base so Billy could drop his stuff off and change.  We planned to walk the base for a while.  But due the weather; lightening with in 5 miles; the dorms were put on lockdown indefinitely so BIlly could not leave the dorm.  

Stone waiting for Billy before we got the call about lockdown... notice no rain?!
I decided Stone and I should hit the road to get back home before any bad weather really did hit so we headed to his dorm for a quick good-bye.  
It was great to spend the afternoon with Billy and I look forward to visiting him again once Lj is back in town!
