TDY = Family Trip

TDYs can be good or bad. Sometimes the Air Force sends us to unfortunate places, such as Kettering OH (yes, that would be MY TDY). Other times, they send us to amazing places like New Zealand (that would be Joshua's TDY...jealous? Yes!). This time, the Air Force sent Josh to San Diego for two weeks. Not quite New Zealand, but it's still a great location! A TDY to San Diego meant a weekend trip for me :). (ummmm New Zealand please?) I packed up my bags and flew out there for the weekend (8-10 April). It was a fun little weekend get-away. And Josh definitely loved the break from Luke.


Our first stop...San Diego Zoo! FYI, San Diego zoo is free for military members. You should stop by if you're in the area!



This Panda was adorable. I could have watched her for hours! I'm easily entertained :)




Joshua was super excited to see the Galapagos tortoises...then he was extremely disappointed to find he was one month too early.

Isn't this face so cute?

Next stop...Seaworld! Another park that gives free access to military members.

Our little dolphin friend :)



Shamu in action!



I love flamingos! And they loved me because I had food :)

The next weekend Josh spent with the guys in San Diego and I took a last minute trip to Virginia (featured in the next post).

A Navy aircraft carrier ported in San Diego that weekend (I missed all the sailors). Joshua and his guys were able to take a tour of the big ship. Pretty neat experience.










They finished off the weekend with a ride around San Diego. Yes, they all brought their motorcycles out. Josh always gets his ride in :)
