Speaking of unpacking... we now have a really cute carry-on bundle of joy to bring with us on our adventures. We named our little boy, William Wrangell, born on February 15th at 8lbs 9oz in Anchorage, Alaska. Though he loved long walks along the coastal trails in Anchorage all bundled up in his snow gear, we think he's just fine with the slightly warmer sunny walks along the Pacific Coast here in Monterey. Not a bad duty station to enjoy time with the family and no deployments!! Home every night, together on the weekends... such a blessing!
We left Anchorage on March 10th headed for Monterey, Grant drove and Sara and baby flew down to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Silverton, Oregon. Grant was fortunate to have his brother in-law along for the 3100-mile drive along the ALCAN Highway through Alaska, Yukon Territory and British Columbia, then down through Washington... a beautiful drive! Motivated by seeing our wives and kids again quickly, we hit the US-Canadian border in Washington in a little over 48 hours (2,300 miles in 2 days).
After Will's 1-month birthday, we headed for Monterey to look for a place to live. After only 1 week in a hotel, we found a cute little house in Pacific Grove (only 4 miles away from the Naval Postgraduate School along a beautiful coastal trail).
We'll post more in the near future, but for now, here are a couple pictures of our little Will and some of our 2011 moving adventures.
God bless,
Grant & Sara
And and amazing place you live indeed, beautiful. I'll be back! /dff
