4th of July Week

What a drastic change this redeployment was compared to the last.  Mike arrived home just in time to celebrate the 4th of July.  More importantly, Mike's family was able to stay for a few days of family time.  I can only imagine that coming home to his own house, car, and family was much more satisfying than arriving in Washington without a welcoming committee (sorry we weren't there last time...damn nursing school finals).

The week was filled with catching up and storytelling.  We explored Point Defiance, Seattle, hit some balls at the batting cages, ate some good BBQ, and watched fireworks.  Couldn't have asked for a better first week back.
