This weekend was a busy last goodbye to my VA apartment. Friday night Larry and I repeated last week and went back to Harry’s one last time for food and wine. Saturday morning we had to get up early and drive down to Williamsburg for my cousin’s wedding. Pretty wedding, with the reception at a vineyard.

Sunday morning we drove with my parents back to VA and picked up the Penske truck in Springfield on the way back (even got upgraded for free to a bigger truck)! We spent the rest of the day doing final packing, loading up the truck (thanks Vinny!), and as much cleaning as we could (until the vacuum broke) before we passed out on the air mattress in the living roon.

Monday it was up bright and early for the big drive up. My mom, (a drugged up) Mitzie, and I started out in my can and Larry and my Dad in the truck. Drive went very smoothly (Mitzie was amazingly well behaved), and once we got into NJ we swapped, and Mitzie and I got into the truck and my Dad and Mom continued on to take my car to their house. Larry and I made good time getting to the Holland tunnel, however once we got to the toll booth, we were informed that we weren’t allowed to go through the tunnel. crap. So we had to take a detour (and sit in traffic) to go through the Lincoln tunnel, and finally got to the apartment around 4pm. With Ben’s help we unloaded everything pretty quickly and started the long, move in process!
