My grandfather (dad's dad) retired many years ago after serving serving 28 years or so in the US Air Force. During his time in the service my dad and his family lived here on Okinawa! I got their old address from my grandmother and my friend Sara and I went on a hunt for their old house today! It turns out it is one street over from her house! Crazy!It was so cool to see the house my dad lived in when he was a little boy around 40 years ago! The house is still standing and in good condition (from what I can tell). Someone lives in it, so I would assume it is still in working order! Anyway,
I just thought it was amazing to know that they once lived there and now I live on this beautiful island as well! (Yes I know, it looks alot like my house, but they all look the same on a military base!)
Sara and I also went to breakfast this morning then on a little walk to the ocean while our husbands played golf! This was the first time I have had a chance to go to the water since we've been here! We went along what they call the "sea wall". There isn't beach there, but you can certainly see the beautiful, clear ocean!

That is so neat, that you were able to find your father's house.
the water looks really pretty too.
How's your house? Do the dogs like it?
Bet john was excited to be able to play golf, too!
Love,
