Trip to see Brad's graduation

Josh, Jackson, Me, my Dad and his wife Bobbie flew to South Carolina to see Brad's graduation from his basic training in the Army National Guard. He has been stationed at Fort Jackson in Columbia, SC. We took him off base for a day and went to the beach in Charleston, SC. We loved it. The waves were huge because there was a hurricane coming in the next day. The waves were loud and as you can see, Jackson didn't like it. I did! It was soooo beautiful. I could have stayed there for 3 more days. It was really good to spend time with Brad. He enjoyed his training and seemed to be doing good. He is now doing his specialized training in auto mechanics at the same base. He will graduate in a month or so. We can't wait to have him home!











This was at his graduation. He is the one marching in the back left. The graduation was really neat to see.



He was showing us where he stood for formation. He was a squad leader.
This is the room where he slept.



Jackson laying down on his bunk......luckily he got the bottom bunk. I don't think he ever got the bottom bunk growing up. He was always the smallest guy who had to climb up on the top bunk.

Brad is showing us his Class A uniform. He wasn't able to wear it yet.



The entertainment while waiting to see Brad.


The airport was fun! Jackson loved flying. He still talks about going up in the sky with the clouds on a plane.
We had a great trip! We can't wait to see Brad again.
