Camp R & R













































Nick, Brent & I had the opportunity to go to the Eagle River area in Northern Wisconsin for a week through a program for recently deployed veterans called Camp R & R through the USO. It was awesome...so peaceful and relaxing and yet at the same time did plenty of fun activities like fishing, hiking, boating, and water skiing. Brent was pretty good but the poor guy had a bought of a stomach bug and a very sore bottom. The food was absolutely amazing...which meant we walked away about 10 lbs heavier but hey...you can have dessert every night on vacation:) We stayed at a private lodge with 2 other neat families and there was a USO representative and his wife there to help make us feel at home and plan activities, etc. The local community was great...donating a lot of time and services to our stay. We went to a local winery that donated some wines for "happy camper hour" :) ...the Wedding Wine is my fav if you like something sweet:) Everything was wonderful. So thank you Nick for your service and sacrifices and thank you USO for such a wonderful opportunity...it is nice to feel so appreciated and taken care of.
