On Day 7 of my double digit vacation, we took advantage of the nice weather and went to Kennywood. We took my 11 year old niece and her friend from karate. They were looking forward to having a good time. For me, this trip to Kennywood was my first since 2018 and first amusement parkContinue reading “First Trip to Kennywood since 2018!!!”

Getting a New Perspective on my College Education
I’m fully into vacation mode now, or at least trying to be (no I’m enjoying my time off). After getting educated at Summer TLI and enjoying time with family over the weekend, I’ve decided to embark on some road trips.

Lots of food and we wondered what would become of the leftovers. Just like lunch on Saturday at TLI, it was picnic food.Continue reading “Benny’s Graduation Party!”

Milestone
Today is a day to celebrate, just as it will be in a few days and on Saturday at Club Officer Training. I’ve been putting content on this blog since November 2019. I didn’t know what was going to happen a few months later, no one did. That didn’t diminish my hopes and dreams. InsteadContinue reading “Milestone”
