And we're off....after saying goodbyes to good friends. Ryan had his separation ceremony and going-away lunch yesterday. Fleet's Eats was his choice for lunch, it's in this guy's house (I'm not kidding!) complete with mismatched plates and good ole southern food in crock pots. Here are a few of the unique range of going-away gifts he received: a pitch fork (to shovel shit), a caricature by local artist and co-worker Eugene Poole, a picture of a former Lt. who everyone got him mixed up with, and a Dora the Explorer lunch box with his favorite items: crunchy peanut butter, granola bars, and a juice box! And I am the proud owner of 4 dolphin prints by Gene (he has the coolest name--I never just call him Gene, always Gene Poole!). It has not fully sunk in that the Air Force years are behind us yet. Maybe it will as we see Columbus in the rear view mirror?!
Our last night was enjoyed with a few people from Ryan's work at Woody's on the Water at the marina. What an awesome last sunset! Definitely the prettiest part of Columbus.
And now we're off to New Orleans for the night. My last chance for beignets and po-boys!
