We are off to a new adventure

We are leaving Richmond, Virginia, behind. It is history!


Whatever, my toys are more important. Don't forget to pack them up for me, please.

The truck has come and the driver unloads the containers.

He unties the straps while Andrew looks on - a true supervisor!

Let me get into the fork lifter and bring the contain down. But how, there is no ramp on the truck.

This is high tech. He brings the fork lifter to the edge of the truck, and there is a lift to lower the fork lifter to the ground.

Let me get this thing into motion. Here comes the first one.

The first container down.

Here is the second one.
Andersen said: "It does not seem hard. Let me drive the truck. . . but, now that I am in it, it looks scary. It is just too BIG."

I am happier with my dump truck.

Let the loading begin.

Andrew determines to put everything into one container. Another supervisor is on the couch looking on.

Don't let the couch fall on me!

We three try hard to roll the bed mattress together into as small a roll as possible.

This is a true success story.

Let me hook the car carrier on top of the all purpose van.

Please be careful with my 42" plasma TV, Dad.

It's time to say good-bye.

Put Andersen in his car seat.

It's such a small quarter. Whatever, it doesn't matter to me. I'm small, so I can still move around.

Away to the wide yonder. The future is ahead of us. Bye bye Queensmere Place, Richmond, VA!

You guys did a great job packing, Andrew's car looks very back heavy, but he made it. Poor Andersen looked like he was in solitary confinement though!

We were wondering if we could pack everything in. But Andrew was determined. He did it. Bless his soul.

Nancy, didn't you know I turn white just 6 months ago? There was this big news on the national papers and Internet of this incident.
