Long checklists, late nights, and sad good-byes

I guess the title sums it up. With four days left before we pack up the Blackhawk (our family mini-van which is really dark grey), Air Boss, 'Shroom, Lolli and I have been busy saying good-bye to our family and friends.

Sprinkled with errands around Watertown (playing catch-up with doctor's appointments, DMV), Cambridge (car tune up), Waltham (new tires), Framingham (pet store visit to figure out how to safely transport Omigee across 13 states), our last 1-2 weeks here in the Boston area have been busy.

'Shroom and Lolli have been great - they've been schlepped all around town with us and understandably getting cranky with the lack of sleep. We wake them up in the morning, force them to take short (but not very satisfying) naps in the car, and then keep them up late at night. Today is our "off" day (i.e. I need time to figure out how much stuff will actually fit in the Blackhawk without scraping the exhaust pipe on the road).

Will need to follow-up on the "pack list" for the car ...
