First Full Day at Camp LeJeune

   It was chilly when we got up this morning...47 degrees!  We had to turn the heat on.  After breakfast we headed to the nearby Air Station to check out the RV storage area where we will be storing Harvey for Nov and Dec.  The storage area is located by the marina which is gorgeous!

On the way out of the CG we got stopped on the
drawbridge to let this sailboat go through.

 

This drawbridge is different in that it doesn't raise up
in the middle like most.  The road way pivots in the
 middle and turns 90 degrees.  This is the edge of the
roadway coming back together.

 

 

This is the main docking area.  The sign below is posted there.

 

We didn't see any... that's a negative and a positive!

 

The year old office building is gorgeous!

 

This was painted inside on the wall.

 

Lots od Adirondack chairs are set up to view the water.

 

It's a beautiful setting! (No, that's not the Loch Ness Monster
in the water.  There was something on the lens of the camera.)

  We spent about an hour there and then went to their PX and commissary to get a few things.  We also had lunch at Subway.

These are called "Osprey" airplanes.
Notice how perfectly they are lined up!

This was a parking area full of helicopters.

This was just inside the Air Station.

  On the way back Alexandra sent us a few pix from Penn State.  She and her boyfriend, Todd went up for the game.  We are big Penn State fans, so it was nice that she thought of us!  She kept us posted on the score. When we got back we changed into our beach wear. At about 2:00 I headed down to the beach to look for sharks teeth and John stayed back to work on a couple of things in Harvey.  He joined me later.  He walked much farther up the beach to get his steps in and we met up again at about 5:00.

It's a really pretty beach!  Unfortunately, a lot
of the dunes have been washed away during October.

The clouds look like cotton balls.

This looks like some e sort of Puffer fish.  He was dead :(

  He headed back and I stayed out because I have a hard time stopping.  I didn't find very many nice sharks teeth, but I found a lot of shell pieces for Bonnie to use for her jewelry making.  I did find a penny, some sea glass, and some shell casings which kept it interesting!  

My treasures from today.

I finally came in about 6:00 because it was getting dark and I still had my prescription sun glasses on.  When I entered the CG I could see that my wonderful husband had strung up the froggie lights around the screen house and hung the light in the middle.  It really looked neat!!

John did all the decorating himself... what a guy!

  John grilled hamburgers and mini meatloaves.  They were so good especially since we finally found Martin's potato rolls at the commissary!!  After supper we played 2 games of Five Crowns...I won them both.  We watched a little TV and then went to bed about 11:00.
