Hi Everyone,

Looks like my LO will be based in Coronado and needs to start looking for a place to live. Does anyone have any info on where to look for affordable, nice rentals in San Diego? Real Estate or rental agents?? Neighborhoods or communities to definitely look at, or to avoid??? Help!!

Hi Cheri,

Congratulations!  We found a guy in Pensacola that did the matted pictures, I think I posted his contact info a while back and he did a great job!  At our DS's winging the unit also gave each wingee a framed photo of the T45 with wings.

It's official!  We have a winging date.  July 25th.  Good news is that it doesn't conflict with my mom's 80th birthday.  Now to figure out winging gifts.  I'm going to comb through all your suggestions.  Did you know that the guy in Milton closed the business?  At least that's what it looks like to me.  Sad.  Kingsville should be nice and warm in late July.  Guess I'll start looking for a navy sundress.  Can't wait!!!

NNM, glad for you!  Enjoyed the photos too.

Great visit with JudyM last week!  That's Whidbey Island behind us from my back deck.  This morning I saw an aircraft carrier out here!  Its so funny to glance out the window and go whoaaa, carrier.  A year ago we were celebrating our DS's wingings in Kingsville.  I got to see some sweet wedding pictures!

Comment by JudyM on April 24, 2014 at 10:52am

Gonavymom, thanks so much for your hospitality. How nice to have a chance to visit.

Comment by JudyM on April 24, 2014 at 10:51am

The wedding was simple, just the bride, groom and parents. Big wedding to come probably next year. Loved being a part of it.

Comment by CheriH on April 24, 2014 at 9:16am

That's cool Nancy!  I love watching the videos of the LSOs on deck.  What is FCLP?  Something to do with carrier landings I assume.  Thanks.

DS just got back from El Centro.  Whew...Something like 30 flights in 15 days.  He's exhausted...but loved it!  I think he has a winging date!  It happens to be my mom's 80th birthday.  My brothers and families were planning on coming into town to celebrate...I had to tell them I wouldn't be here.  Hopefully we can move her celebration.  I'm not missing winging!!!

Comment by gonavymom on April 18, 2014 at 1:56pm

JudyM congratulations to you and your family.  Can you believe it has been a year already since we met in Kingsville at our DS's winging!  I take it this is the young woman I met there?  So happy for your DS and his new wife.  I don't have to work next Mon, Tues, Wed so if you are still near the base, give me a ring and we can get together for lunch or something!
