Exploring Jacksonville NC

Whenever I think of Jacksonville NC

all I think about is the Marine Corps base there

and how much I would NOT want to be stationed here.

I'm sure all military wives have their I hope we 

NEVER have to go there bases.

If you are a Marine wife who has never been to Camp Lejeune you

may be just like me and have it on the absolutely not list.

Well, rumors suck let me tell you.

I am here on vacation for a week while my hubby is in a school

and so far I could see myself living here.

Of course there are a lot of tattoo, pawn shops and strip clubs

but it is by a Marine Base after all. 

I told the hubby it was now ok to put Camp Lejeune on our 'list".

While I have been here I have visited with my bestie whom I 

hadn't seen in almost 4 years.

Being that she lives here that might have something to do with my

all of a sudden "I could live here" attitude.

Yesterday after dinner the hubby suggested we take baby Hulk

to the Vietnam and Beirut memorials here. 

Now, being that everywhere there is something I couldn't imagine 

there was going to be anywhere with enough space. 

I was again wrong about Jacksonville, NC.

The memorial is beautifully done.

Here are some of the pictures I took on my cell yesterday since

I left the good camera in the hotel.
