Moving to Virginia

Nick, Eloise, and I trekked across the country to move to Williamsburg, VA. The reason for the big move is that Nick is attending the two-year MBA program at William and Mary. We made it to DC in 6 days, where we stayed for 3 nights (thanks to Abby and Chase), waiting for our moving truck to arrive. Eloise handled the trip very well. For the most part, we traveled during her naps. When she woke up we would find a grassy spot to lay a blanket on where we could feed her and let her play for an hour or so. Then when she got sleepy we would pack her up and drive again for another 2-3 hours.
Of course, there were times that she was fussy.
We took a detour to Chicago and stayed there for a couple days. We were pretty happy that we got such a great deal on our hotel that was right downtown (thanks to Lizzie), but unfortunately we found out we had to pay $36 a day for parking per car (we had two cars). That realization shortened our stay in Chicago, but we made the best of it.
While we were in Chicago, we visited the aquarium. Eloise loved it, but she got frustrated because she couldn't touch the fish.



This is the bed and breakfast we stayed at in Omaha, NE.
