Wright-Patterson AFB - we're here!

We arrived at Wright-Patterson yesterday around noon. The directions to the FamCamp take you the long way through the base! Lots of twists and turns to get here. Not to worry though, I've already found another gate we can use to get on and off the base during the week. Unfortunately it is closed on the weekends, so will have to do the long route then - at 25 mph!

As we were walking to the office to check in, out came a almost familiar face - Paul (AFChap) - another Escapee. I say almost because he has added some facial hair, but it does look good. He said that they are leaving today to help their daughter move but would be back by the 8th or 9th of September. It was great seeing him again. Neat thing about all the moving around, you never know who you might see or meet.

We got a great pull-through site (just two over from Paul and Jean) with full hook-ups. The FamCamp is about half full right now. Paul said it fills up more on the weekend - we will see.

I'm so looking forward to the two weeks down time here. I think that we've been on the road to much without taking time to "stop and smell the flowers". Dean and I are both a little road weary. We are going for haircuts today, then may take a run up to St. Paris and check out where Tab and Deanna are. I talked to him yesterday and another couple were coming for the weekend (classmates from '05). We haven't met them yet so sorry, I don't remember their names. Anyway, we are going out for dinner with them tonight and to the AF Museum on Sat. Beyond that, I'm not sure what we are going to do besides get some well deserved rest. I do know that there are a lot of festivals in the surrounding area so may check some of them out.

Till next time.......
