April 2014
As Air Force pilots, Sarah and Paul are ever on the move - from one Special Operations assignment to another. I was invited to help Sarah make their move from Hurlburt Field in Florida to Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico. What a treat to have time alone in the car for two days with my daughter and 4-month old grandson. Road trip!
Before hitting the road, this proud Mom got to see a very special fond farewell Sarah received from fellow officers based at Hurlburt - flowers, cake, a plaque, etc. I'd be hard-pressed to believe this kind of a personal send-off is typical.
After sending off the movers, we took one last photo in front of their lovely home in Navarre.
We hit the road, aiming to join Paul in New Mexico in a timely fashion. Nonetheless, we found time for a pit stop in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It seemed only appropriate to have lunch at Central Grocery - famous for originating Muffalettas.
Final stop - Walmart in Clovis, New Mexico - to stock up for the next chapter in the Brehm household.
What great memories! We sure appreciated your help with the movers in Florida, the final cleaning of our Stormy Circle house, and driving across the country with us. Glad to have that photo of a passed out Henry on Bourbon Street...hopefully he won't try to recreate that moment later in life. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing how this substantial trip fell off my radar. What a daunting drive with such a little guy, but you two ladies did it!
