An image from the MuseumWe (Patrick, Kyle, Janene and Joann--Pat's mom) flew to Georgia to visit Jared for "Family Days". He has now finished Basic Training and is doing AIT (Advanced Individual Training) until early September.
He was happy to see us, and we were happy to see him (to put it lightly!) We all wished we had more time for visiting and sightseeing, but all were grateful for the time we did have together!
We are so proud of him, and I know we complain about the heat and humidity, but we got a taste of what Jared does everyday, and by golly we aren't out doing 5-mile runs before breakfast, marching, doing maneuvers with full gear on, and PT out in the weather....rain, humidity or shine. Those Military folks all have a big challenge before them, and I really appreciate them and their tenacity!!
A large Platoon marching by as we arrived to return Jared to the Barracks (the photo only shows about 1/3 of the whole group)We visited the National Infantry Museum (totally cool history) on base and we went bowling, shopping at Military Surplus Stores, swimming in the hotel pool, and of course, eating! (Jared chose Chinese Buffet twice! HA) And he missed eating steak, so we ate at O'Charleys in Columbus. Great food, an awesome waitress and I'd say the best food we had for the whole trip. We'll go back for sure! ;-)
Here are some photos, hard to pick just a few!!

Going back to his Platoon, and chilling on his Ipod to music, a luxury!
