The USS Blue Ridge is docked at Da Nang. Between the history, the scenery, the prices, the Hanoi vodka, and the lemongrass ice cream, this final port visit is the highlight of the deployment for Mike. Yesterday he rode his bike to China Beach where so many US soldiers went for R & R forty years ago. A lady even invited him back to her house! (He says he politely declined.)
Between mowing the lawn and taking the SAT, Matt's weekend was less relaxing than his father's. He even managed to connect the TV in anticipation of "rebonding" with Dear Old Dad over video games. Mom hopes they both realize there's a seriously long Honey Do list to be accomplished before they hunker down with those controllers and choose NFL teams.
Registering to take the SAT when you live overseas is about as complicated and time-consuming as the test itself. We're glad it's behind us.
