Helping Chris, Amy, Adam and Lottie Move to Charlottesville, VA

On Sunday afternoon, 29-JUL, Rosie and I returned to HSV from our 15 day trip to Alaska.  Our flight landed at DFW at 6 am, and we drove from there to HSV (after John Stonecipher met us at the airport).  Monday, Chris and family drove from Ft. Hood, TX, to HSV; about an 8 hour drive.  On Tuesday morning we all started the drive to Charlottesville, VA, where they'll live for one year while Chris attends an advanced law course.  As we got ready to leave, Nani was making sure no one forgot the dog.  She's ready to go!  Hey - how about a little AC for the dog!

On the way to Charlottesville, we spent Tuesday night at a hotel in Knoxville, TN.  We completed the drive to Charlottesville on Wednesday.  The moving van arrived Thursday morning.  Here's the moving van parked in their cul-de-sac.

We had a lot of boxes to unpack.  Here are some of the "before" pictures - i.e. either before the boxes were unpacked or before things were put away.

 

 

 

Here's an "after" picture of the living room area - including the new flat screen TV and stand Chris and Amy bought.

Amy did a great job of getting Adam and Lottie's rooms organized.  Chris and I put up darkening shades to hopefully allow the kids to sleep a bit later in the morning.

 

The folks who own the house Chris and family are renting (also JAG) have a cat.  They had installed a "cat door" in the door that goes from the kitchen into the garage.  Nani wouldn't quite fit through the cat door, but she could keep tabs on what was happening in the garage.

Charlottesville is a great area and their house is very nice.  We hope they have a wonderful year in Charlottesville.
