Where it began
Last night we went out with some friends to cruise the intracoastal. We had beautiful weather and the one storm we saw in the distance made for great scenery. At the southern end of our trip was the Coast Guard station. Driving up under the 17th street bridge and catching the first glimpse of the station brought back a flood of emotions. My first reaction was how much it has changed but I next found myself picturing some of the best moments of my life and realizing that even off of the base we had some of the best times that we can never replace. As we got closer a CG Helicopter (dolphin) passed over head. What a perfect moment. Travis and I both found ourselves getting a little choked up and after just sitting in front of it for about 10 minutes could had had all we both could take. This is were our family started. It has now been 10 years since Travis and I first met there. How time flies. Leaving the station we discussed that for myself, I would have stayed in if I had it to do all over again but Travis said he made the right choice to get out. Either way, the choices we make bring us to where we are today. We have Madison!
