So, was it worth it to take an entire day to drive to Kansas? Yep...
After enjoying a leisurely morning while Jeb was at work, which included inducting Emi into the Christmas Vacation club, we set off to Fort Riley. We had lunch, visited the PX, then got a driving tour of post once Jeb got off work. The oddest part was when he took us to the simulator and we witnessed lower-ranking soldiers "sir'ing" him. Jeb, Emi and Elliott all participated in the simulator. Mom and I were unable to even watch due to our equilibrium issues. We took the opportunity to get in some exercise walking around parking lots.
Next up, we went to the Blackhawk hangar:
Uncle Jeb gave Elliott the full rundown.
We finished up our day with our Thanksgiving grocery shopping at the Commissary. Elliott had reached his limit by this point.
My hunt for cornmeal will be important for Day 3...
