Tara and the Mom hanging out at Ft McCoy in Wisconsin. Scott was taking one last picture before our final good bye's.

Scott just days before being shipped out to Iraq. Tara and I were lucky to visit the base and see Scott just 4 days before he left. Not too close, theres not PDA allowed in uniform.

Daniel and Scott doing a little surfing in CA before Scott shipped out to Iraq. We took Daniel back to the beach for the first time since we'd left Hawaii in 2000. He is a natural in the water, cathching a wave or two before Scott. It was a great trip; saw friends, felt the salt air and water again, and spent time with Daniel.
