The Last Day...

There's always a last day. It doesn't matter if he's on the first or the last crew to head out, we still have to face that bittersweet day of knowing that we won't be together again until it's over. Yesterday was ours. We were busy, but we had fun too. We just tried to make the best of it. Most importantly we were together.



Daddy and Abbie chilling out.



The A-6 Intruder display that Andy hoped would be finished before he left was just almost there--and it was really cool to see a plane like that hanging by cables from a crane.



An ice cream break.



Carolyn playing with her "mouse" while we were out running errands.





A little more fun at another beach.



Weather rolling in.



Daddy and Abbie sneaking in one more heart to heart.



And finally a photo of the two of us. This was taken a little before 1 a.m. (he left in the wee hours).




And so... It starts.
