So I realize you’re not supposed to tell people when you’re leaving town but for the sake of sharing our adventures I threw caution to the wind so please nobody try to break in while I’m away. I took everything good with me anyway! 😅And of course…if I didn’t say…my house will be Airbnb occupied while we’re away. That was a whole other project getting it ready, along with packing! But we got it done & made it to DC, our domestic destination & meeting spot with our travel group. We’ll meet up with them in the morning at the airport.
I am glad that (1) it is not as freezing❄️ as it can be here at times because coming from Southwest Florida & packing for our equatorial destination it actually a Never once crossed my mind to pack a coat! And (2) my intrepid travel companion is such a trooper who wanted to explore a little. So here we are in the middle of the city eating our dinner at Shake Shack (another reason I love him – he is a cheap date!) & heading to the National Portrait Gallery because we like to pack life full.
Get a load of my suitcase! I have never packed so much in my life! This bugger is full of like 3 articles of clothing for me & bags of toys and clothes and household items for our soon to be new friends. And of course there will be lots of room for shopping! 🛍
