San Antonio: Misc. Photos

One of the stops we made on our trip was to the Alamo. It was smaller than I expected, but it was very cool:

Who needs Daniel Boone when you got Don and Dave?

Uh oh, that pink pistol looks very formidable

While shopping at the base PX, we met Sergeant Rambo, a very well trained three legged dog:

Some of my best photos were of Kyle and Sara. They make a great couple, don't you think?

I didn't think it got very cold in Southern Texas, but I learned differently on the day Kyle graduated. Temps were in the low 30's, and with the wind, we experienced wind chills in the mid 20's. It was cold!

San Antonio: Touring the Parade Grounds

The day before Kyles' graduation, we took a walk around the parade grounds, which had many planes lining its border:

San Antonio: Coin Ceremony

Following the Airmen's Run, we watched as Kyle and the rest of his flight received the Airman's Coin:

Attention!

Lots of graduates

Salute!

Following the coin ceremony, the spectators were allowed to approach their airman:

It was great to finally talk to Kyle after 2 months.

Next up, we tour the graduation grounds with Kyle, and as one would expect, I took lots of pictures. Stay tuned...

Christmas in Sioux Falls

On Christmas eve, my younger brother and I made the 9.5 hour drive to Sioux Falls. And it would have taken us 9.5 hours to get to Sioux Falls had I been paying attention and not accidentally headed South on I-35 for 60 miles before noticing that I was on the wrong road.

Even with the extra two hours of travel time, it was a fun drive, and an all around great trip. We got to see a lot of people we hadn't seen in a while.
