Our First USO Trip

Last night we signed up for our very first trip through the local USO (Thanks for the great USO recommendation, Noah and Holly). On February 6th, we will be going to Lucerne, Switzerland...

...to tour the city and visit a Fasnachtsmarkt (Mardi Gras festival)! The trip itself if just one day, we will be picked up on base at 0500 (Yikes) and get dropped back off around 2000. We get to just sit back and enjoy the ride...as well as Lucerne.

We're very excited to take advantage of more USO events in the future. They offer a HUGE variety of outings (day and overnight trips) as well as classes. I'm really hoping to take one of their German cooking classes. The one trip we're sad we missed out on: World Championship Bobsledding. It was a trip to learn to bobsled on an Olympic ice canal sled track. How cool would that have been? We've learned that the trips and classes tend to fill up quickly. We lucked out and bought two of the last three seats for the trip to Lucerne.

Here we come, Switzerland!
