We are in VA

We arrived in Alexandria on Sunday and are beginning to settle in at our new residence. We immediately took the opportunity to visit Old Town and loved it. A number of friends familiar with the area had said that was the place to go and that we would love it. It is nothing more than a waterfront with many beautiful row-houses and many shops and restaurants. Overall we have a good first impression of the city, it is pretty clean and the district around the PTO and Old Town is simply amazing. Definitely a livable city.

This weekend is Rachel's birthday and hopefully we will have our first opportunity to venture into DC proper and visit the National Zoo. It looks as though we will be getting a lot of rain on Saturday but Sunday, her birthday, should be pleasant. Who knows, maybe we will get the camera out and take a few photos.

Moving Tomorrow

We are packing up today and tomorrow and will hopefully arrive in Alexandria on Sunday. We plan to stop at my family's home in NJ on Saturday, have dinner, and then lead the brave souls who volunteered to help us move in on Sunday morning.

We are all very excited about this move and can't wait to see the sights!

Girls Go Away, Come Back

The girls, all 3, spent a week in Omaha visiting Mindy's mother. It was nice for me as I needed to get a lot of work done in preparation for finals, but did make things a little lonely around here. Everyone had a good time but were happy to come back home.
