We moved out of our apartment and began our journey down on Friday. I purposely arranged for our drive down to take place over several days to help us process the transition one mile at a time.
Hurricane Joaquin posed a threat, but of course God's plans are higher than ours, and we are grateful for His protection. We drove through a lot of wind and rain on Friday night, but landed safely in DC and waited out the storm on Saturday. We stayed with friends from my first firm in DC, and it was comforting to enjoy the closeness of friendship before venturing out again. And Junior climbed a whole flight of stairs for the first (and second and third, and fourth...) time!
Other things that happened were...
- We took Junior on a walk around some of Washington's sights, including the National Archive and the Smithsonian.
- We tried North Carolina barbecue, which is vinegar-based. I didn't like it. Mr. Squire didn't like it. Junior kept wanting more. :-p She really likes sour things (like lemons and limes). It's a little weird.
- Junior has been doing great (!) on the drive down so far. We are so thankful!
- We picked up a symphonium music box on our way! A bit of an impulse purchase, but I was so excited about finding something that would truly bring the magic of Christmas to our household--especially since Palmtreeville doesn't really have a winter. :(
