Wonderful day today. My baby boy graduated from Basic Training and it was a really cool ceremony. I did get annoyed at the freaking people who started walking out when the ceremony was still going on since their soldiers had already marched by but they didn't listen to the directions to stay seated until the end! It was totally disrespectful. (Zach on the left in the picture, of course)
We went to the mall to get Zach his first pair of civilian shoes since joining the Army; he was excited to buy something with colors other than green and bought some with orange on them and a bunch of different bright color laces. Zach tried out a wind tunnel they had in the middle of the mall as well. Yeah, not sure what that was all about! He also signed up for his own cell phone plan and got an iPhone. He is totally thrilled with it. I was totally thrilled with seeing him spend so much of his own money instead of mine!
We also stopped at Bojangles Chicken and Biscuits since we had never heard of it and then it was back to the hotel where Zach was able to change into civvies and spent more time playing with his iPhone. He buddy Smith stopped by and they went wandering around and got in who knows what trouble. Good day, but I am looking forward to getting home and seeing Riley and relaxing!
