Weekend with Brycen at Eglin AFB in Florida

This weekend, Lorraine and I were able to spend the weekend with Brycen.  Our son, Brycen is an Airman in tech school at Eglin Airforce Base in Florida. 

 

We arrived late Thursday night at the Wyndham Majestic Sun Resort in Destin, Florida.  It was about a 5-6 hour trip from our home in Jacksonville, FL.

We were able to see his dorm and meet many of his friends. 

 

On Friday night, we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden with Brycen and three of his friends.  It was good to meet his friends and we were impressed with all of them.  We enjoyed a good dinner at Olive Garden and had fun being with them.  All of his friends were from his Bible Study. 

 

On Saturday evening, Brycen and Bob went to see the movie "Cloverfield", while Lorraine visited the outlets.  Then we all met together at the Outback Steakhouse.  After some time at Barnes & Noble, we traveled back to the base.  As we traveled back, I noticed the temperature drop to 39 degrees.  It was quite a cold night.

 

On Sunday we joined Brycen for church.  It was somewhat small contemporary service and the people friendly.  The chaplain gave a very good Martin Luther King sermon.  I especially liked excerpts from the letter Reverend King sent from the Birmingham, AL jail.

Here are pictures of Brycen and some of his friends.
