Well we had a whirlwind weekend here in the Bennett household. Vanessa went through the temple on Saturday and a friend of her's from Washington State flew out for it. Walter was still sick and Nicole was coming down with the same thing so he stayed home with the kids while I got the great opportunity to go with Vanessa. It was a gorgeous, hot day here in Maryland and the temple was packed. Parking was hard to find, which is a wonderful thing. We enjoyed our session and spending this special day with Vanessa. 
After the session and photos we headed out to a late lunch to Red Robin in Germantown. I haven't been to Red Robin since Spokane. We had a nice lunch with Vanessa, David, Ben, Kathy and me. Walter graciously agreed to pay. LOL!! It was a long day and we finally got home in the evening. Then Vanessa, David and I headed to Sam's Club to pick up Skyler's birthday cake and decided after that to show David the covered bridge. We got home pretty late and we were exhausted and had to get up early the next day to head into D.C. Oh ya, the dogwood blossoms at the temple grounds were just stunning!! These are my new favorite blossom. Just gorgeous!!
On Sunday, Vanessa, David and I headed into D.C. for the day to show David the sites. It was going to be another scorcher day here on the east coast. In fact it got into the 90's there and I thought I was gonna die. LOL!! We took him to the White House, Washington Monument, Holocaust Museum, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and then walked the entire mall up to the Capital building. Whew!! That's alot of walking if you know D. C. We then headed to Union Station for lunch and a little shopping. After that we caught the metro back to Shady Grove to head home for Skyler's Birthday dinner, cake and ice cream. (I will post about that tomorrow). It was a jam packed weekend and my feet are throbbing and even managed to get a blister, LOL, but it was fun and exciting. Okay, I am off to design for NSD!!!
Well we knew it was coming and we were waiting, well not so patiently. Walter turned in his Base of Preference list to personnel back at the beginning of March. They said they would load it right away. We had a list of 8 bases we would like to go. Walter was nice enough to let me pick 2 of the 8. This list we were allowed to do because of the kind of assignment Walter had this time. Well he kept checking with personnel to see if it was loaded yet and it was not. We were getting concerned because the window allowed for us to use this was running out. So the other day Walter yet again called down to Andrews AFB personnel to see if it had been loaded. Still not done. Then just barely 2 hours later he gets and email telling him he has an assignment. What? LOL!! During that slim 2 hours, personnel managed to finally get his base of preference loaded and he was selected for an assignment!! I still am shaking my head in disbelief that the Air Force is even capable of giving us this much notice. LOL!! So without further ado here is where our assignment will be to. Oh ya, only pics right now, ya gotta guess!! Oh one more thing, of the 8 listed bases this assignment was one of my 2 choices!!
