Ben graduated from the Navy Corpsman A-School yesterday; Izzy and I flew down to see his graduation. I made reservations downtown by the River Walk, so we have spent our free time exploring the area. This morning Izzy and I drove to the Japanese Tea Gardens a few miles north of where we are staying. We were there early, with the only other guests being another group taking pictures.
It is sunny and hot in Texas in July. Ben said he can’t wait to take some leave and fly back to New England with us tomorrow. I can totally understand his feelings. Luckily the paths along the River Walk have lots of shade and usually have a good breeze. But still, the heat take a lot out of you.
It has been nice to get a break from the anxiety of trying to sell the house. It has been stressful with all the house viewings that didn’t turn into an offer, but hopefully that part of things will be over when I get home tomorrow.
