Fernando and family moving to a new city

June 25, 2017
After breakfast at our hotel, I drove Eva and Leo to the airport for their flight to Durham.  Meanwhile, Guillermo and Fernando went back to the house one last time, turned over the keys, etc. and then gassed up the uhaul.  Then they waited for me at the hotel to come back from the airport.

The drive this day was good.  We got as far as Suwanee, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta.  We had a few little issues along the way such as finding gas stations that were good enough to pull into with a truck that was pulling a trailer.  Or finding a place to eat that had a good enough place to park the truck with the trailer.  The drive through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama was nice with very interesting scenery.  Georgia is also a very beautiful state.  When we stopped at the Hampton Inn in Suwanee, my goodness that place looked fancy.  Not all Hampton Inns are the same!!  I braced myself for the price they were going to give me for the night, but it was the exact same price as we had paid the night before so that was surprising and nice!  Fernando found a Korean restaurant nearby where we had a very good dinner that evening.  Fernando had to have been pretty tired because he drove all day without a break from driving.

Guillermo started off driving our car and drove for about two hours before we decided we needed to make a change.  Since Eva and Leo spent last night at a hotel in Durham, they had until 1:30 to stay in their room before the hotel was going to charge them for an extra half day.  So we decided that Guillermo would ride with Fernando in the truck (which was slower) and that I would go on with our car to Durham and hopefully get there before 1:30.  I drove for over 4 hours straight and got to their hotel at about 1:05 or so.  Eva and Leo were having lunch in a Waffle House next to the hotel so we finished up lunch there, then Eva picked up their bags from the hotel desk and we drove on to the Airbnb house we had reserved for the next two nights.  Thank goodness for Google Maps!!!!!

The house we rented was in such a nice area, had 3 bedrooms, 2 bath and also had kids toys, which Leo just loved!!  He was so happy there at that house!

Ok, we're at a new house.  Am I going to like it here?

Yes, it's fun here at this temporary house!  And how I love pushing my own stroller around!!



It was nice to have this place to whisk Leo away to while things were being unpacked and put together at their new house.  How Leo loved it here and I usually had a very hard time convincing him to leave to go eat or go back to the other house. 

Shortly after we arrived at that house, Fernando let us know that they had arrived at their rental house so we drove over there to meet them.
Their house is cute, they have a good sized yard and a garden waiting to be fixed up and planted in the back!  The garden is covered with leaves right now and Leo sure loved running around in and throwing those leaves!
 We had dinner at a very nice Pizza place the first evening.  We ate outside on the patio and there was plenty of space for Leo to run around.
