Packers Arrive

Even with all of our prep work, the packers had a lot to do. It's getting crazy around here.

Bekins arrives for packing day.

Maya's room is mostly ready.

Final Days

We are getting to the end of the line and saying goodbye to the best people. 

Our last time seeing the Hare/Nolls while we are living here. Teddy and Dexter hanging out at the farmers market.

Maya and Nick. 

The gang making the rounds.

Dumpling lunch outside.

A walk over to the other park for baseball and our last time together as residents of the same state. This is hard. 

The next day we headed over to San Francisco to drop of Todd's car to have it shipped to Santa Fe. The spot was near the airport. Here we are with just one car. 

On the way home, we went to Kokkari for Todd's birthday. It was wonderful to enjoy one of our favorite San Francisco restaurants before our big adventure.

Happy Birthday Daddio!

This is likely our last trip across the Golden Gate Bridge.

We'll miss you old friend.

Leaving is hard to do.

 

Sell It or Pack It

Serious packing commences, serious selling, and serious giving away.

Our table for the last 15 years is here...

...then it's gone.

Pretty house.

Empty studio.

I guess we better consider what to do with all these jars!

Our notorious Free Table. A social experiment that really shows how just about every item we owned was interesting to someone.

Stuff.

More stuff.

Electronics removal.

This looks official.

Less Than Two Weeks To Go

The two weeks means too many goodbyes.

Sailing for Pop

For Pop's birthday, his kids got him a trip on a sailboat in San Francisco Bay. We all went along and it was fun!

Heading out of foggy Sausalito.

First stop, a quick trip under the Golden Gate Bridge.

We made it.

Looking the other way.

We sailed back in the bay and into some better weather.

Now we head under the Bay Bridge.

Pretty coastline.

Having fun.

Getting cozy with the birthday boy.

Happy sailors at the end of their voyage.

We had a great time on the Bay Wolf.
