It's 6 a.m. at NAS JAX, and Unc and I are on our computers while Daisy, TWMSD, stares at us trying to get us to feed her. Unc just gave her a cookie, on top of the popcorn I had just given her. You see why she is TWMSD.
Since New Orleans, we have been to NAS Pensacola where we saw the amazing National Museum of Naval Aviation. Then onto Athens, GA, to visit my aunt and uncle (Unc's sister and her husband). From there we went to Andersonville, GA, site of the infamous prison where the Confederates held over 30,000 Union soldiers, and also site of the National POW Museum. That museum provides a detailed view of American POWs from the Revolutionary War to the present, and the stories of bravery and fortitude of our many military personnel in the face of cruel and inhumane conditions are moving and remind of that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
Yesterday we came to NAS Jacksonville and are staying at the Navy Lodge. Today we'll go to St. Augustine to see the old city at the World Golf Hall of Fame.
It's been a great trip, and Daisy has been a great traveler. She really likes Unc's junk food, so we both have to go on a diet when we get home. We will put Unc on a flight home to Austin tomorrow then head home ourselves on Friday. We've been traveling 9 weeks--hard to imagine!
