Days 19 - 22 - Moving

So the reason that we haven't been updating the blog over the last few days is that we have been moving. We decided that the dust and noise of a renovation would be more than we could handle for 5-6 months, so we opted for relocating up the street to an apartment in Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase.

The move went exactly how you would expect - more expensive and three times longer than you wanted to deal with. So I guess we shot par on that one.

Well, once in to the new place, we set up camp pretty quickly. By Monday, we had pretty much moved everything that we wanted/needed and could start on the business of all of the rest of the things we put off for three days.

We are on the 11th floor with a pretty nice view of the surrounding area. We can see the top of the National Cathedral and the bell tower of the church just up the street form our house on Butterworth.


View of the kitchen. Nice cabinets and counters. The range is electric so it will take some getting used to (and I will miss my grill), but everything is newer and cleaner than what we left, so overall it is a big plus.


The master bedroom. We moved our small desk. You can't see it here because the blinds are drawn, but the entire corner of the bedroom near the desk is floor to ceiling glass. It is facing south so it gets pretty bright in the day, but the view is really nice.


Abby's room. Crib, changing table, bookshelf and more toys than you could imagine. It is a really good little playroom for her as well.


Living room. We brought over a couple of chairs form our former patio and set them out on our pretty good sized balcony along with some herbs and plants.


Of course, if there is a pool anywhere nearby, Abby wants to go, so we have been up every day since we moved in. It is two floors above us on the roof and is really nice. Good breeze, no mosquitoes, great view.


Daddy enjoys it as well. It beats moving the yard - that's for sure!


Hard to get much cuter than that.
