Our last few weeks in VA

Late May was the home stretch prior to departure, with our packout looming and goodbyes almost everyday.  While we were really excited to be headed to Costa Rica, we also were sad to be leaving what we know is an amazing neighborhood and community...

There's no better way to start Mother's day than with a little snuggle time as Darth Vader.
Followed by Avengers  my Endgame with my boy!!
A great family dinner at Mia's completed a wonderful day.

Our new 3 yo had a doctor's appt and was so good with the nurse practioner. A far cry from our last visit.


Nana came to visit after her big trip to Egypt and we had a great night out at Blackwell Hitch. Mr. Sparkly Bones enjoyed his big evening out.



As our house started to get packed up, we got creative with dinners. Harry enjoyed helping clean out the cupboards.
Dragons crate came out of the basement and he loved going in it. Thankfully he'd be all ready for our trip!
The roses bloomed just in time for us to enjoy them.
Harry and his buddy Hayes spent a lot of time hanging out
We had a stressful experience getting the necessary travel paperwork for Dragon, and we all plopped down on the corner for a break as the movers packed up our furniture. We looked distressed enough as Dragon lay passed out on the sidewalk for people driving by us to ask if we were was ok. The beauty of Old Town!
The rest of the family are pros, but our youngest members weren't quite sure what to make of all of our stuff being packed away. Some trips to the playground helped keep them happy!
Harry channeled his big sister during an outdoor painting session.

Our car was picked up and we borrowed a stroller from BN to use our last week in town. Thankfully the weather was perfect, and we easily "commuted"between our hotel and out house our last 2 weeks.
The kids last day of school was May 24th, and we visited Livi's school to help her say goodbye with some cookies and ice cream.
Harry passed out on the way home, and even took a partial nap on the floor of our house. I'll take it!!
Our last 2 weeks in town we stayed at a Marriott hotel near the Whole foods at the top of King St. Dragon found a cozy place, as always.
Harry took his mummy roleplay very seriously
I love when the end of the year artwork comes home. It never disappoints


Finding a place to cool off near the hotel
And a picnic from whole foods
A visit with Cathy with homemade bluberry muffins by Cathy and Livi
Storytime in our empty house



We got an extra surprise visit with Aunt Daria and Elly and we had a wonderful last meal at Virtue and some ice cream.
