Discovering Monterey, California
Monterey delighted us. This town of 29,000 people has the attractions and shopping of a city of 200,000. I came as a teenager with my family over 20 years ago and have always wanted to share the aquarium with my children. This visit we lounged at the Lover’s Point Inn (10% off with military ID http://www.loverspointinnpg.com/) with great rooms a two-minute walk from the beach – try the Mermaid Beach House if you want something extra special and have the space of a home.
An Imperfect Marriage

When we ask any military spouse who has been through a deployment or other challenge of military life, “What helped you get through that time?” we always hear, “My friends, my battle buddies.” Spouses who have the hardest time with military life are those isolated by circumstances or who choose to isolate themselves.
