Kent finally got all of his paperwork and everything ready to start his journey to Turkey early Tuesday morning, May 1st. His car had to be in Dallas Tuesday to get checked-in to be shipped overseas. He flew out of Dallas Wednesday afternoon and arrived in Baltimore that evening. Ashley was able to take Ava to see him Wednesday evening.

We didn't think it was going to work out, but everything fell into place so that all of us except Kelley were able to go spend Thursday with him in Baltimore, since his layover was almost 24 hours long. It was a really nice day and we are so glad we got to spend it with him!
We got to his hotel around 10a.m. and just visited for a little while. He was showing mom the STACKS of paperwork that he had to carry with him the whole trip.
Waiting for the elevator. He checked out of his hotel around 11. Check out that duffle bag!!!
"Do you think it will fit?"
We headed to Cracker Barrel for lunch. After that, we found a mall....a HUGE mall!!!
It was awesome! And the store we were in the LONGEST...
was the LEGO store!!! Kaleb was thrilled and it was a really neat place. There was the big table in the middle of the floor with Lego stools and bins of legos that you could build whatever you wanted!
Kaitlyn building a masterpiece!
Kent and Katrina playing a game
The wall of ALL kinds of pieces!
Dad & Kent checking out the displays
This one might take a little while to put together....with over 3,000 pieces!!!
A young couple walked into the store and Kent recognized him - they had been in Iraq at the same time!
It truly is a small world after all.
It was REALLY warm there, and Dad decided ice cream would be good!
So to Dairy Queen we went!
Then, too soon, it was time to take him to the Airport and say good-bye:(
He had a 14 hour flight to Germany and then finally to Turkey.

We love you and we already miss you!
Fifteen months will go by pretty fast!
