Last Days in VA

 After 4 years in the DC/MD/NoVA region we are finally out of there! It was fun but the mid-Atlantic states are just not the place for us and we were eagerly awaiting our move to Florida.  Rob graduated from EWS on May 8th, he was the Honor Grad for Intelligence! Go Rob!

In the days leading up to graduation we had a lot of organizing to do.  Not only were we getting ready to move a family of 5 to Florida, but unlike most moves we weren't going directly to our next house.  Since this is our FINAL move we had planned to buy a house that we want the kids to grow up in and not have to move again, ever.  That can take time though so the kids and I will be in Naples for the summer until we're ready to move into our house in Tampa, and Rob will be driving down on the weekends and staying in a hotel on weekdays.  Having to pack us up for an unknown amount of time was kind of challenging.

Here's a couple pics from the last days before the movers showed up.  

Reagan loves her bunny, she loves to sleep with one of the ears flopped over her face to make it dark.

 It finally got warm enough to be outside everyday right before we left.  As I type this we are now in Naples and the kids are complaining about the heat, there really was no in-between for us this year.

I had a fun last night out with one of my best friends from college!  She has lived in DC and since we moved to Quantico it was a lot harder to get together with her.  I'm sure she will be down to Florida to visit!

Once the pack out started Reagan had no crib so we had to walk around the neighborhood for nap time.  Ducky snuck in a nap in the front yard too.

We stayed in a hotel in Fredericksburg once we were completely packed up.  Then we hit the road on the morning of the 15th of May.  We did the drive in 2 days to Tampa!
