We got orders to move to Cali!

Jeff gets to go to SERE school in Maine May 25-June 5 and then we pack up (when I say we, I mean the Navy) June 8-10, check out the 11th and head towards Cali June 12th! Since my sister is getting married on June 13th we'll have to make a slight detour in Austin.

So here are the travel plans(click on the maps to see a bigger picture):

Day 1 - June 12th - Meridian, MS to Austin, TX

694 mi – about 10 hours 36 mins

Day 2 - June 13th -Austin, TX to El Paso, TX (or as far as we can)
leave at 3/4 pm after my sister's wedding

576 mi – about 8 hours 23 mins

Day 3 - June 14th - El Paso (or wherever we made it to) - Flagstaff, AZ

574 mi – about 8 hours 9 mins

Day 4 - June 15th - Flagstaff, AZ - Grand Canyon - Las Vegas, NV

390 mi – about 6 hours 49 mins

Day 5 - June 16th - Las Vegas, NV - Lancaster, CA - Lemoore, CA
(I have to go drive on the Honda Musical Road)

443 mi – about 7 hours 14 mins

So with some detours in Austin, TX, the Grand Canyon, and Lancaster, CA, it'll take us 5 days for our journey across 7 states! Road Trip!

Wings of Gold

Well, we finally have made it to Winging Day! Jeff is officially winged and is a Naval Aviator! Here's just a few pictures from the day, there are a lot more and you can click on the photo on the right to see all of them on our Picasa page. The local ABC news from Meridian was also there to commemorate the occasion and you can view that broadcast when you click on the video on the right.



(Just in case you don't know, every aviator gets a callsign which is what is on the back of the shirts. )
