Upon arriving in the NOVA area, we stopped to tour the Manassas Battlefield (Bull Run) to kill some time before Kirstie got off work. Robert and Marissa were fascinated with the history, artifacts, cannons, and war sight. They truly loved the opportunity to be there. It was terrific!

Second stop, Kirstie's new house. I had never been there before. Wow! It's wonderful. It is in the perfect location for Kirstie's work, it has a pool, fenced yard, finished basement, 4 bedrooms, deck, pool patio - etc. It's amazing. We had such a great time visiting and catching up the first night. I took everyone out to Paulo's Restaurant to celebrate Kirstie's (very long ago - March - birthday) and to thank them for letting us stay with them.
The second day, Robert and Marissa got to play in the pool practically the whole day (12:45 - 5:15) while Kirstie and I took all the boxes out of Kirstie's storage room, unpacked, sorted, separated - what to donate and what to keep, and then repacked what was to be kept. We work all day!!! The kids had a ball. They never needed us - not for anything - they get along so well!!
Oh - the sweet life.
Crazy kids!

That night we ordered Chinese and ate at home - we were exhausted from all the work.
