Short but Sweet

Danno has been busier than ever. NJS has been working them like its finals week, every week...non-stop studying and very little time to sleep, and he can only expect it to get worse until graduation day. But surely all his hard work will pay off!

On the brighter side I was able to make a brief 3 day trip to Rhode Island 2 weeks ago to help him finally receive his shipment of things (since of course his schedule hasn't allowed him to be available at all during the day). Plus we got to celebrate a belated Valentines Day together. The trip was very short, but was worth the opportunity to spend the little bit of time together! We treated ourselves to a nice filling dinner at The Canfield House in Newport.
...then off to a night stay at a very unique hotel in Warwick called the NYLO Hotel -- loft style, modern, hi-tech, free stuff (like bottled water and wi-fi) completely non-smoking and prides itself in being "green." We stayed in one of their "PURE" allergy-free rooms thanks to medical-grade air purifiers, hypo-allergenic bedding, and contaminant-free climate control. It was pleasantly refreshing!
..Back to work. Only one more month to go and I'll be heading back out there for his graduation!

Shipping up to BOSTON!

Danno sure has been toughing out the cold in RI! His first week of school has been keeping him very busy, but fortunately we're still able to talk a little bit every day. It was nice to hear he got the chance to take a break and go out on the weekend with some fellow classmates. He sent me some pics, which I added to his post below...

Went to Boston for the weekend to watch the UFC fight and to see some of the sights.

Saturday I went down to the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). Forgot to take pictures but they had some amazing pieces: Monet's Water Lillies, Jackson Pollack, Manet, Van Gogh and Jan Jensz den Uyl, John Singleton Copley and many others.

Then went to watch UFC fight at Cask N'Flagon. Of course BJ Penn got rocked by GSP. It was a completely one-sided fight. We stayed at the Omni Parker Hotel and Sunday we woke up walked over to Fanueil Hall and grabbed a Cannolli at the North End (little Italy). Grabbed some Dim Sum in Chinatown for lunch. Also checked out the USS Constitution aka Old Ironsides.

Dannos friend in the photo actually went to UH with him, but at that time hadn't decided to go JAG yet. And there's actually one other UH classmate Danno ran into who is in the same program (both are Navy though). Small world!
