Compare before and after:
Friday, we went to the squadron's first First Friday which actually fell on Oktoberfest. So, everyone went to downtown Panama City for German beer and bratwurst served up by the Knights of Columbus and more. So far, I'm really liking the Tyndall base area. The commissary is big and nice and has aisles such that when you're shopping during the day with all the retirees, they can stop in the middle of the aisle and you can actually go around them! Very nice. :-) Plus, have I mentioned that I LOVE living near the water. I told Rob that if we had to come back here for a tour, I wouldn't mind at all. He reminded me that I've already said that about Sheppard (we love you guys!) and that I will probably say it about all the bases we will live. I love that the military is taking me to all these interesting places for free!
Saturday, we worked on the boat and discovered that we don't actually know what we're doing. Plus, I dropped the mast on my head (OUCH!!) while we were putting it back up. Yeah, it hurt. There's a lot of ropes and pulleys that aren't connected or missing ('cause they're old) and we're not even sure what we need when we go to the store. I picked up a few books in the library about sailing (including Sailing for Dummies) but I still might end up hiring an instructor to teach us how to use our boat. Now, I'm really hoping to get the boat on the water before it turns cold!
In the meantime, enjoy these pictures and videos courtesy of your loving Moores in Florida! Plus, read Rob's posts - they are awesome!! I love my oh-so-talented husband!!

Looks like the place is coming together, I need to remember your tricks when it comes to decorating... research first :) I am glad that living near the water is fun and I hope we get the opportunity to come see you before the Airforce takes you so far away that we won't be able to come for a visit. I miss you roomie!
