  Well, Catherine took her test today. They said she did really well. We will know the results sometime next week. She will be tested for four-year-old kindergarten on June 2. That is the same day Carolynn gets her braces. So tomorrow, we leave on our vacation. The girls are so excited. Carolynn is happy that she will be out of school for a week. Today was Papa John’s Pizza day at her school, so she is leaving on a good note. When we get back she will only have a week and a half left of school. She gets out on June 9th. Phillip’s mom gets here that same day. I am so excited about our vacation.
I am sure there will be lots of cool stuff to see in Nashville. Tomorrow we are staying at my friend Cari’s house. She lives just outside of Indianapolis. The weather sure is looking better for our vacation. It is going to be great. Phillip barbecued us some chicken for dinner. It was delicious. He even made us pancakes for breakfast. I think he is going to miss us when we are gone. Semper Fidelis (Day 5) When were the Marine’s official colors, scarlet and gold, established? Answer April 18, 1925
