Odds and Ends

SPRING BREAK

Here's some belated photos of T and I on spring break in Florida:















This was taken outside an abandoned ranger's station on the beach island (peninsula?). This was during a loooong walk down the beach on a search for some old fort ruins. We didn't make it all the way, although we walked (and ran a bit) about 4 1/2 miles before we turned back. There was a storm brewing too; maybe we'll get a chance to bike/hike out there once we move.















Here is some beach wildlife. Portuguese Man o' War (s). Men o' War. Whatever. We found lots during our time on the beach that day, even bigger ones but these are the ones we got pictures of. Going in the water seemed risky!
















Dude, it's a fort! This one was actually on the Naval Air Station (the base where Tobin will be training). It was so cool, with a drawbridge and moat and cannons and everything.















Inside the fort. If you look closely, you can see the Tobin ghost.















Airplanes! There is a lovely little museum on the base as well, where we spent a good few hours one day.

MIL BALL

On Saturday we had the military ball, where ROTC seniors were honored and a nice dinner was served, followed by a dance. It was a nice evening.




















T and I.
















Our table, minus T the photographer.

ART


Behold, my art. I don't know why I ever went into engineering. Look at this raw talent.

Zachary says: "What is it, a toilet?" A piece of underwear! Just kidding.

Elyse says: It looks like a bike seat. Where's the Tobin ghost?

Mom says: Good job on the pictures and the art work. I wouldn't even say it was made in kindergarten. Quite the abstract artist you are!

The Tobin ghost is actually pretty freaky. I wouldn't go in there if I were you, Er...

SO cool that they honored Tobin at the military ball. Good for him. He's earned it.

How did you make your art project? Is that the nylons and hanger thing? It's pretty sweet!

Love you both!
