On Thursday, we took Jeremiah and Sarah on a tour of Ft. Leonard Wood.  We drove around the neighborhood, the elementary school, the gyms, pool, bowling alley, movie theater, parks and mini golf course.  Jeremiah got his hair cut at the PX… that won’t happen again.

We introduced the kids to a few important terms:

PX  (Post Exchange) - A little like a department store or a strip mall.  There’s a food court, pharmacy, Sprint store, barber shop etc.

MiniMall – This is the new location for Military Clothing Sales (uniforms).  It also has a Military Pro shop (cool gear), Class 6 (liquor store), Starbucks and Taco John is coming soon.

Shoppette – Convenience Store. The one we stopped at had a Blimpie sub sandwich shop too.

Commissary – Grocery store. Don’t forget to tip the baggers.
