The first part of the move went great. Moving day got pushed back a day so we were able to be 110% ready. Got up friday morning, took Quinn to school, grabbed some Starbucks and the movers were an hour late... no big deal - we don't pay them by the hour!
The driver + 3 guys showed up with smiles on their faces. They were fantastic. We got out of their hair immediately. We ran some errands then went for pedicures :) Best move ever. Upon our return they were finishing up. We cleaned for about 2 hours then grabbed Quinn and brought him to the empty house to say goodbye to his painted animals. He ran in, yelled good bye and was ready to go.
We headed into Vancouver and went to the Aquarium, then over to Scott & Dee's for one last visit and sleepover. Alex and his friends came to. It was a nice evening.
Saturday we bid farewell and hit to road by 10. We actually hit the road at noon once we done everything we needed to do. We picked up some 2-way radios from Costco as i don't have a cell and wanted to be in contact with Lair. We made it to Chase in no time! Like under 3 hours! The road was clear and a good drive.
We had a nice visit with dad.
Sunday we were up at 6am and on the road by 7:15. The drive was great right up until three valley gap where the snow began. Man oh man what crappy weather and road conditions! Mostly drove 50km/hr. I wasn't very happy - pretty slippery, not quite a white knuckle drive, but close! It finally cleared at Banff where the highway divides, then it was clear and dry all the way to Calgary!
We arrived at Karen & Steves door step exactly 8 hours later :)
So there you have. We are Back! WOO-HOO!
