Dave made it home (from his France deployment) just in time to celebrate Memorial Day. We attended service at Madingley American Military Cemetery, just outside Cambridge UK. It was a perfect day, not too hot with just a sprinkle here and there. I was so proud of Ava, she sat still, stood every time we were asked, held her hand over her heart during the anthem, and showed reverence during the laying of the wreaths. The little boys in front of us however didn't show much restraint. There was a nice fly over of 2 F-15 and a KC135 from local RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath bases.
After we ate lunch at Nando's we spent a few pounds at the arcade. Ava and Dave rode the virtual motion ride a few times (much to my surprise, I thought Ava was scared of all things "RIDE") I took on the basketball hoop and Ava sped off on the motor bike and danced the revolution.
