Moving Day!

It's here.
Moving Day is upon us.
As I sit here watching women's Olympic gymnastics, I decided to grab the camera and decided to take some pictures of what our living room currently looks like.
Boxes everywhere.
We officially move Saturday morning at 10 am. It shouldn't take a lot of time to load the truck and then unload it 15 miles away from DC in Alexandria, Virginia.
Our street is called Doctor Craik Court. It is a strangely odd name for a street in the United States. At first we thought it was due to the fact that it is near a hospital but we were recently informed of some American history that goes along with our new place.
Evidently our plot of land was once part of a much larger plot of land owned by General George Washington. So who was Doctor Craik? General Washington's personal physician.
Also, a nearby street is called Tis Well Court. Yet another strangely-named street. As you may have guessed, this too has to do with General Washington. 'Tis Well' were the last words of a dying Gen. Washington, as recorded by Tobias Lear.
