A Great Weekend

This weekend was fantastic. We were released on Saturday at 16:30 (4:30pm) and were told to report back Sunday by 20:00 (8:00pm). Tara came down and picked me up and we drove about 20 minutes to Manhattan to our hotel room.

We had dinner at Applebee's, tried the Blu Steak which was really good. We saw my roommates there having dinner and talked to them for a bit and then went to the Arcade and blew a few bucks.

After that we headed down to Aggieville, the local bar scene for K-State. We met up with some people from my unit and had a few drinks there.

On Sunday we got up around 11:00am, it was so nice to sleep in! We went to Taco Bell for lunch and just relaxed the rest of the afternoon. We then had dinner at Cracker Barrel.

And that quick it was time to say goodbye, which is always hard. But hopefully a few more weeks of training and then we'll be validated and able to come home for a few days!

Hi JR
Thanks for the message!
There is a really nice restaurant in downtown Manhattan, looks kind of old but can't remember what it is called, it is on the old downtown were the antique stores are but it has really good food!
Glad you got some R&R.
