You would never know this wasn't Sunday morning and that it was actually a Monday morning! Danny sure has it made. Homemade waffles and chocolate milk on the balcony. What a way to start the week!

LtCol Sullivan!
While Farrell and I were in Quantico the first week of March, Farrell was promoted to lieutenant colonel. The ceremony was very small but very meaningful as it was held near the brick at the Marine Corps Museum which bears his father's name and honors his father's service. The boys were there, although they found the snow more interesting so they lost out on the photo opportunity! We are so proud of Farrell and so excited for his future.

World Travelers!
Here are some pictures of the flight to the United States. Peter is showing off his passport, Daniel is in awe of the big planes and the three of us are having fun (we hadn't even left Okinawa yet, you should have seen us 20 hours later!)
Okinawa v USA
LOVE MOTELS. What are they, you ask? They are motel rooms for rent by the hour (or two). Meant for the Japanese to escape the close living that comes with an extended family or for families that want to get out of the heat during the summer (yea right) these rooms are literally rented by the hour. There are privacy precautions such as covered parking, booking and paying without seeing a living person, and private entries and exits for every room. This room, as you can see, is pretty plain. There are rooms with themes such as Space Odyssey, King Kong, and others. They are equipped with costumes (I guess if you and your family are escaping the heat to play dress up) and flat screen TVs (if you and your family want to watch sports) but the thing that got me was the mattress in the bath room. Guesses anyone? Hey, don't knock it 'till you've tried it right? Not sure if I will go back (this time I was on an all girl tour of the place) but the concept sure is interesting! Okinawa or USA? I'll let you decide....
