Another exciting weekend

This weekend we went on a excursion to Carowinds. Being the leader of my oldest sons unit Family Readiness Group, we were invited to a Yellow Ribbon event. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a great thing. They have conferences and seminars on what to expect during a deployment, and programs for reintergation when the soldier returns home. We were boarded in a nice motel, since we traveled over 100 miles. On Saturday, we attended the seminar and were given lots of usful information, and a day pass into the Carowinds amusement park. This park had mostly rollercoaster rides(which I'm not very fond of) along with a few rides for the kiddies. We enjoyed the weekend with our close friends, and met a few other new faces. The experience was great overall, as it is now a few days closer to our soldiers returning home.
