Brighter days are upon us

That's what I'm hoping for!  I had a great weekend! But it felt way too short for a 3 day weekend! I really don't remember what we did on Saturday or Sunday except take bubbas out to the river.  On Monday we had a lot of fun. We got to spend time with dad early in the day. Before that we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a bit while Greg and dad ran an errand.  That afternoon we headed to Old Sac. A friend of ours invited us to join them for the Gold Rush days event. The museums were free, so Greg and I got to check out the Train museum first.  It was pretty cool. The lower level was the different types of trains they had. What they were used for and history behind them.  On the 3rd floor was all the toy trains. Greg was saying how he wants to build one for him and Wyatt.  We walked outside and got to see them shoot a cannon.  It was pretty loud! Of course. And everywhere you look, people were dressed up in the olden days.  The concrete road was covered in dirt.  They had shows at certain areas to show you what it was like back then. They had gun fights break out and a brothel (of course they used Evangeline's) "set on fire". That's always fun to go to.  We went last year and it was a blast too.  We also got to check out the military museum, free admission as well.  Greg explained to our buddy's gf's kid about the military, the types of weapons that were in display, uniforms, etc. He was very interested in it all to say the least! Our last stop before dinner was Evangeline's. We went upstairs to check out the costume mansion, play with a few things, haha! I had a lot of fun that day. And boy was I beat!!!! As soon as we got home, I was ready for bed.

Things are looking up, I hope. Greg found out today that he may be able to go through security school and get his guard card and permits for free through the VA. We shall find out soon!
