Merry Christmas
In Uncategorized on December 14, 2008 at 5:01 pmUnpacking…
In Uncategorized on December 11, 2008 at 3:53 amAnother small update: Our furniture finally arrived today after what seemed like FOREVER! I was starting to go a little bit insane. Everything seems to be ok, except our poor kitchen table…they did a number on it. We got the kitchen completly unpacked and are slowly working on each room. The MasterBR is almost done as well. The movers arrived at 8am this morning and Pepper was NOT happy about it. See his hiding place: he started out in the bathtub.
DC Traffic = Nightmare
In Uncategorized on December 10, 2008 at 2:14 amSo today we headed to DC….actually we were in search of Anacostia Naval Base…which just happens to be in the heart of DC, or so it felt like. After a few u-turns and I’m pretty sure some illegal u-turns…we finally found the base. Only to be told that there was no uniform shop on that partiular base. We were directed back over the river and into traffic to the “Naval Yard”…luckily they had a NEX and we found what we needed. I made Taylor buy his PT uniforms for all the trouble we had to go through. We really didn’t stop and be tourists (there is plenty of time for that later) but I got to see the Pentagon and backside of Arlington, which was really cool. We also stopped by the HUGE Ikea store. I found a futon that I NEEEEED in my guest bedroom. Guess we will be making a trip back to Ikea. I had never seen a store so big it needed it’s own parking garage. Oh well…
I wish I had been able to snap a few pictures to show, but I was to busy trying to navigate for Taylor. Maybe next time 🙂
We hope to be coming home next week, seeing if we get unpacked. Furniture comes tomorrow…yay!
More updates and pictures to come. G’nite all!
Arrival in Fredericksburg
In Uncategorized on December 6, 2008 at 1:19 amWe have now officially arrived in Fredericksburg, VA. It took us exactly 5 hours…most of that spent on I-95 with the crazy drivers. That is the one thing that will take a long time to adjust to, is the crazy Virginia drivers. (Sorry Virginians…hehe) When I say crazy, I mean, most of them go 95mph on I-95…haha. And everywhere else for that matter. But I think that is something I can get used to…just an excuse to drive fast 😉 Sorry mom!
1. A & W – can’t tell you how excited I was when I saw this!! 2. Lifeway Christian Bookstore 3. Krispey Kreme 4. Qudoba 5. Smokey Bones. And that is just 1 exit…can’t wait to really start exploring. We are going to head to Quantico tomorrow, to mainly grocery shop at the commissary but also to explore the base.
