Dad called our departure "hitting the road." But, luckily we did not hit anything (hands are not for hitting). Instead, I call it leaving.
It has been a tough couple of months for me. The house has been extra clean, my toys have slowly been disappearing, there has been a lot of stress, and strangers showed up randomly to see our house (frequently unannounced or on a short notice). It has also been tough to leave my friends and school. Amelia is probably too young to understand, but I know that moving means my friends won't be able to walk over any more, "our park" won't be ours any more, and for the next two months my room is my car seat and my closet is my suitcase. Sure, Portland will be awesome and yes I'm excited to see friends and family; but leaving is still tough.
One nice perk, I got to drive the first stretch. Now, I'm blogging from Columbus, OH - where we are having a ton of fun (more on that later). Here are a few departure photos.
Peace out,
Phin
