Tim is on his way!!!

Tim left at 9:20 this morning for Pensacola, Fla. You'll see below the progression from all his shoes lined up waiting to be loaded into his car to driving away. Jeff and I helped him pack the car last night. Most of his worldly possessions are in his Camry with a few things left to be shipped later. You gotta love a Camry! It's loaded! Before 7 am this morning he was on his way to Fort Meade to check out according to his orders. Then back home for a last breakfast. I baked cookies for the road, too! He loaded his bike on the back and we said good bye! Tim is excited and anxious to go. We are happy for him and look forward to what's ahead! To ease the pain of our now empty nest Jeff and I are flying to Atlanta this afternoon! Jeff has meetings and I'm going with him. It will be a good distraction! When Mike left for the army we jumped in the car to see the first Pirates of the Caribbean! Flying to Atlanta seems appropriate. We both agree that this is easier than Mike leaving for the army and leaving Tim on I-day. Those were hard days! Now we know Tim is headed to a "known" thing and has lots of friends to join!
