The packers arrived at our house bright and early on Tuesday, Aug 3 (Joe's birthday...to be addressed in another post). Our neighbor was kind enough to take them for the morning leaving Ken and I to supervise the packing and start the cleaning of the house. Aunt Ann also came over to help out! After some crazy dealings with the moving company including: finding out our move would take FOUR days instead of three, being told our stuff would arrive on Aug 23 instead of 13 (which we promptly fixed) and our belongings not fitting on the truck they sent, everything was finally loaded on the truck/s and the house clean by Friday afternoon. We brought the boys over to say goodbye to the house then headed to Ann's to pack up for the first leg of our journey.
Unfortunately, a snafu occurred when Ken rolled his ankle and we ended up at the CMC Emergency Room. He sprained his ankle pretty badly it turns out and got crutches and a boot. So started our journey. Since it was 8 pm by the time we loaded, we got about 3 hours up the road and stopped for a quick snooze. We finally arrived in Olney at Mamama's at around 1130 am, unloaded bags and kids and reloaded for Ocean City. Joe and Tom were going to Deep Creek and we were headed off to Jeri and Ronnie's wedding. The boys were exchanged
without a hitch. On the other hand, we sat in 5 hours of Bay Bridge traffic. YUCKERS!!
