Wisconsin Avenue!

Just a quick post to tell everyone that John and I have arrived in DC! We left Houston Monday at around 5pm and headed to Pensacola Florida arriving at 3 am! We slept for 4 hours and spent a beautiful day on the beach with Lance, filleted some flounder with Lance and Gary and went out for delicious seafood dinner. On Wednesday we drove from Pensacola to Columbia, SC to visit our friends John and Nikki Lawrence. We spent a wonderful time hanging out with four pugs and playing Apples to Apples. On Thursday we found out that we would have to leave for DC very early in order to get all of our unpacking done. Apparently, you cannot park a car or truck outside our place from 4-6:30pm - so we had to be finished unloading by 4:00pm. We also had to drop off the auto-trailer at a UHAUL downtown so that we didn't have to park it in the city. That meant we had to wake up at 2am! It wasn't too bad though, we made it!

When we got here, Heather and Spencer helped us unload our truck. Our place is very small, so about half of our stuff is in storage out at Heather's new house. Saturday, we set up our bed (very important) and helped Heather and Spencer move their big furniture. Then, that evening we met up with John's brother Barry for dinner and a movie. We headed home and hit the sack.

Today we dropped off the UHAUL truck, came home, and started unpacking boxes! We haven't finished, but hopefully will be done by tomorrow! We really love our new place. It is small, but has some great amenities. There is a screened in porch that is quite sizeable, a dog park, and BBQ area. When you walk outside the door of our building you see the National Cathedral! It is very beautiful and plays bells in the evenings. We have seen so many dogs around here too! We are really excited about our new home and our new journey! Will keep you all updated!!!

I'm so glad you made it safely! I'm going to send you some mosquitoes, unbearable humidity, and a few hurricanes in a package so you don't get homesick for Houston. Can't wait to read more updates from you!
