A Day of Goodbyes

Our Memorial Day weekend continued yesterday with a chat with Dad. Sadly, this would be our last chat together for awhile as the ship left port this morning to continue their mission. So, as always we made the most of it. Later when he was on the ship, he phoned us to say goodnight and to tell us how excited he was to receive his Father's Day gift. We were quite surprised because we only mailed it about 4 days ago. He said he is going to wait to open it until Father's Day.

Soon after we talked to Steve, we left to go to Virginia Beach where we met Trevor and his family for one last visit before they go back to Maryland, and to give Trevor his birthday present. He turned 6 years old today! They treated Tyler and I to a fabulous dinner at a great seafood restaurant. During dinner Tyler and Trevor were kind of shy with each other, however it wasn't long before they were the best of pals. After dinner, we enjoyed a magic show in the street in front of the restaurant. Trevor's older brother, "Big Tyler", sat with the boys while they watched the show. Unfortunately, "Little Tyler" and I needed to head back home after the show was over as it was starting to get late. We're hoping that we'll see Trevor and his family before too long. We had a wonderful time with them.
