The Big Move

We finally got to say goodbye to the hotel after six weeks as move in day came over the Easter extra long weekend.

Sayonara Hotel Room!



The house is empty and ready for our 297 boxes! At this point I have already been stressing for a couple of weeks about where we are going to put everything. This 1920 vintage house has ZERO clothes closets.






The truck with five guys and six crates of our worldly possessions rolls into town. Everything has passed through quarantine except for a dirty bike and two straw baskets.


By mid day the crates are empty...


Despite the fact that we have paid for a full service move, we are left with this as the movers skiddaddle at midday, never to be seen again.



We realize now that we brought way too much stuff with us. But at the time we were packing up, everything seems important as you don't know what you will need. So, as we unpacked boxes we did another cull to pick and choose what to keep.


At the end of Day 1, we had a place to sleep.

Ah, my own bed...


It was a very long day, and not everyone made it to bed before falling asleep. Zzzz!
