We were able to spend another Memorial Day weekend with Gaga and Aunt Linda this year! We were torn between going to Texas for Erin's high school graduation and going to Naples, but we decided since Mimi and Papa were going to Texas, we would head south to attend the Memorial Day event with Gaga. Especially since this was the 50th anniversary of Uncle Bobby's death.
The weather was less than ideal because it was raining over the entire state for the entire weekend so we made do the best we could. Poor Kate came down with the stomach bug on Wednesday night, which made us concerned we would have to cancel our trip. But thankfully she was much better on Thursday night so we left as planned on Friday morning.
We enjoyed lunches and dinners and even some shopping while we were down in Naples. We even tried to squeeze in a little pool time, in between storms.

Getting ready for the Memorial Day event to begin!
I wish the rain had held off, but it poured intermittently during the program. Thankfully the event staff were prepared and had set up enough tents for everyone to sit under. I was worried when I saw the presenters were not protected under a tent, but when the first drops fell, there were military personnel immediately standing behind the speakers with an umbrella without the slightest interruption.
We are so proud of Gaga and all the work she has done assisting the local chapter for Gold Star Mothers. It's amazing hearing about all the functions she is asked to attend and even speak at! Happy Memorial Day!
