We sold our home in Alexandria, Virginia, on May 30, 2012. We put a few things in storage for our eventual retirement and gave the rest away.
We moved to a furnished short-term rental in the Carlyle section of Alexandria just inside the Beltway. Our daughter Riley, son-in-law Joel, and first grandchild Theo, who live in Los Angeles, came to visit us for three weeks and gave Theo a chance to meet Uncle Bud.
Our wonderful friends Connie and Karin came early on the morning of August 5th to get us to Washington National Airport for our flight to Los Angeles to begin our adventure.
