Now we understand....

...why everyone loves Savannah!!! We took a drive into downtown Savannah the other day and it is just a gorgeous city!! The palm trees and spanish moss creates an unreal atmosphere, especially as you drive down a literal tunnel of trees! The weather has been great so far, just as warm as Kansas but not as bad as we expected. We continue to meet more of our neighbors and should be able to get our pool key today for the neighborhood pool...now that's just cool!

We've got internet and a phone in the house as of this morning. Julia will e-mail out the phone number later today I suspect. I'm waiting for the movers to arrive with our stuff so we can start getting the house put together. The kids continue to enjoy our fenced in yard with the huge swingset and Chloe loves being able to run around outside...so far it is a home run!

We'll try and get pics up once we find Julia's computer amid the approaching wave of boxes!

And we made it!

Well the travelling Sullivans made it to Richmond Hill yesterday. For over 1000 miles of driving, the kids and animals are fantastic! Julia had the three kids and Chloe in the minivan and I had the two cats in my car. We stayed in southern Illinois the first night and in Kennesaw, Georgia (outside of Atlanta) the 2d. We arrived in Richmond Hill around 3 yesterday, picked up the key and Julia finally got to see the new house in person. She loves it! Its a great neighborhood, lots of kids and the house is just perfect. The painters last week did a great job getting the exact colors Julia wanted and the Rainbow play system in the back yard (fenced in back yard mind you!) was an instant hit with the kids! I'm not sure who was happier, the kids with the swingset, Julia with her new house, or Chloe running around in her own fenced in yard. I'm just happy that everyone loves it!

Our stuff comes on Tuesday so we'll stay in a hotel for a few more night but at least its the same one. We'll spend the days getting stuff for the house, setting up and letting the kids play. We're headed up to Savannah today for what I'm sure will be the first of many trips up there!

Thanks to all of Julia's friends who called her during the drive and kept her sane! She by far had the worst car to drive...I only had to listen to hours of meowing! We'll get pics and more posts up in the next few days, especially after we "offically" move in!
