Road trip

After an incredibly long deployment and an amazing vacation, it was finally time for us to leave Virginia and move to California.  We were splitting up our trip into three parts.  The first part we would drive from Virginia to Florida to visit family (and pick up Annabelle!).   Second part we would drive from Florida to San Diego to visit our friends, Katie and Beau (and their daughter Anna Cross).  Third part we would drive from San Diego to Monterey.

We were both very excited to leave Virginia.  It wasn't a bad place to live, we were just ready to move on and experience new places.  And we were excited about seeing Annabelle again.  My parents were nice enough to take care of her while we were in Europe and preparing for our move.  I hadn't seen Annabelle in 6 weeks and Rob hadn't seen her in 7 months!

We stayed in Florida about a week.  Here are a few pictures from our drive and visit.

I will post more about the rest of our trip later!
