Back from San Anonio...

Well we're back from our big trip to San Anotnio, Texas. It was really exciting to see our son again. It's amazing to see the change bootcamp and the military life has made in my son's life. He's really enjoying it. He left from bootcamp right into tech school at Keesler AFB in Mississippi. He's proud to be part of the military and we're proud of him ( and our other son also)
It also brought to mind how much we took our children for granted when they were living at home. It's good to see that they have both grown up as responsible adults.
It was also kind of nice to have nearly the entire family share in my son's graduation. My oldest son, my sister, mother-in-law, my brother and sister-in-law(who live in Ft.Worth/Dallas) were all there to share in the experience. I don't get to see my brother more than a few times a year now that they are Texans.
We saw all the typical tourist traps while in San Antonio. The Alamo, the RiverWalk, the Mission Trail, the AF base and hundreds of stores and shops.The Riverfront mall was nice as far as malls go. I highly recommend eating at Boudro's on the Riverwalk. We had our Thanksgiving dinner together there. A little pricey but it really wasn't that bad considering it was a FOUR course meal.
This was also my wife and I first real airplane ride.All the talk of the busiest day of holiday travel was highly over-rated. We had absolutely no trouble getting in and out of the airports. And yes there was no problems getting all of our crazy meds through security.
We came home exhausted and we left over $1300 in San Antonio. Hope they appreciate it.My son gets to come home in a few weeks for Christmas !
Now that all the excitement is over, I've seemed to have fallen into a deep depression. I know its from being physically tired and I am presently working 12 hr days for the next week to fill in for the guys at work who are now taking their vacations.I wish I would of had a few more days of rest.
I really don't care about anything or anyone at the moment. I don't even care about my job. Good thing I'm a supervisor and don't really have to do any physical work. I can just hide in my office until I'm needed somewhere out on the plant floor.
Oh well, I'll get over it sooner or later. I always do. It was all I could do to type this blog today, but I had people emailing me and leaving post telling me to write an update. So here it is.

Have a great day anyway...
