Home from San Diego with a Marine .

[Mark Gross]

Well we returned home Sat. morning with my son who is no longer a recuit but a Marine !! I don't have to tell you all how proud I fell.The whole experiance was fantastic. I'll post pictures as soon as I have them developed. We have till the 23rd of Feb. then he will return to the BMP and let the two stress fractures he has (one in his leg the other in his foot ) heal. Although theytold him he would prbably have to go into something different then the infantry. Mike was glad just to get his anchor,globe,eagle insigna.

Took the wife to Tiajauna ,She tried to say I was trying to lose her and I had her I.D. HAHAHA .We pickedup some goodies for her and the kids.Those guys love to bargain.We kept walking away and the price would keep coming down.We weren't brave enough (or foolish enough) to eat or drink anything.You do have to watch your back though.



All in all it was a great trip and the weather was to nice.
