So here we are. Thursday night. Poised for a return journey on the weekend to DC to pick up the boy's Dad's mini van and drive back with furniture, belongings and more importantly our sanity intact. I am posting tonight, as we are heading down to Will's parents to stay after work tomorrow night, as they are closer to Midway Airport for our 6am flight.
We have made the wise decision to fly in early Saturday morning, where we will be met by Jason, head into Virginia to pick up the van, then never let it out of our sight and catch up with the DC crew at 'Rose, Mary & Thyme' for food (thank you dear Pablo for organising brunch..your a treasure and massive hugs coming at cha!!). It will then be time to make the 12 hour road trip home. We have also made the logical decision to stay at a Motel halfway (prob Ohio), and then continue the rest of the drive Sunday morning, where we will also hopefully stop in Indianapolis and have lunch with friends Stacey and Greg, and their kids Max and Audrey. The main plan is to make it back in enough time to watch the Oscars and consume some of Laura's 'Oscar the Grouch' cupcakes!
Final tips on who I think should win the coveted statue's...
Helen Mirren, Forest W, Little Miss Sunshine (long shot, but would love it!), Volver, Alan Arkin, Scorsese, Jennifer Hudson, The Queen, Children Of Men and Happy Feet. These are people and films that I hope they read out upon opening those lil gold envelopes...
