What we have been doing?

So we just recently got back from our Christmas vacation. I graduated from my Surface Warfare Command Class early on Thursday December 18th. They got us out early so the class could leave early due to the impending blizzard. I tried to change our flight on Delta but we were told we would have to pay change fees and difference. So we stayed here and sacked in for the snow.

Marian made smores over the stovetop. We ended up only losing a day, flying out Sunday morning. We were down in Mississippi with my brother and parents. We had our fair share of pork, Marian having her fill has sworn of the swine for the rest of the year.

Christmas with my family, Marian got some books, pajama pants, and some baggu bags. Wayne got a video game, some books and some slippers.

On Tuesday the 30th, we took the City of New Orleans Amtrak train down to New Orleans. Marian had some fun with Amtrak employees and swears she could fix Amtrak! We stayed in a great hotel in the Warehouse District, had lots of beignets, a lunch at Emerill's, a couple of tours (Ghosts and Gravestones in the French Quarter and New Orleans Cocktail tour), and generally had a few days to relax. We took the train back on the 2nd and flew back to Boston on the 4th.

Wayne started Command Leadership School Monday. Marian starts next Monday. Wayne will be going out to Chicago tommorrow to see Navy boot camp. Marian will be back in San Diego a week from Saturday. Wayne continues onto Norfolk for about 3-4 weeks.
