Saying See Ya Later To Daddy

I have found that even though this is one of 9 patrols it never gets any easier to say goodbye to daddy. No matter how long the separation is for it is always hard. This time was not the hardest time but it still wasn't easy being as since they had to leave a little early due to a tropical storm that was "on it's way" even though it never showed up...

When they leave there is a tradition that we like to do. We go to the beach and watch the submarine leave. It is a pretty cool thing to see. The coast guard patrols the waters and by helicopter which all the kids love. Then comes the submarine and where you stand on the beach it looks like you could swim out to touch it. So here are some pictures from saying see ya later!!!
