Well, we finished up our visit with family in Florida and started our drive to visit the other side of the family in Virginia. While before we had been in two cars (and able to keep the kids separated thus cutting down on the total noise and craziness we each had to deal with), since we left Josh's car with his parents, we were down to one car for all 4 of us, the cats, and all our luggage. We rented a trailer and made the drive with no real issues over the course of 2 days.
We've been here for almost a week now and it's been nice to settle in to a bit of a routine. I'm still looking for things that got packed in CA, repacked when we left our hotel there, unpacked in FL, repacked when we left FL, and got unpacked "somewhere" when we got to VA, but hopefully all of those missing items reappear magically before we need to repack again to get on the plane.
We've had good weather so far (ridiculously warm for VA in February) and are trying our best to take advantage of it. We visited the National Zoo yesterday and other than a bit of rain shortly after we arrived, it was a great visit. We pretty much had the place to ourselves - guess no one else wanted to risk the weather. This morning we visited Frying Pan Farm Park and got to pet some lambs as well as see pigs, horses, sheep, peacocks, goats, and cows. There were chickens as well, but we gave them a bit of a wide berth :)
This afternoon will be filled with cooking and other preparation for my sister's wedding shower tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully the kids will be able to entertain themselves. 10 more days until we leave. Every now and then I wonder what exactly the future holds, but it looks like we'll be finding out fairly soon!
