Embassy Visit

This past weekend we took a trip to Virginia.  The purpose of this trip was two-fold; visiting family, and getting our temporary visa stamp from the Embassy of Jamaica.  On Friday we boarded the Virgina Railway Express in Manassas, Virginia and rode it to Union Station in Washington, D.C.

Waiting for the train

We got on the Metro at Union Station to travel the rest of the way to the Embassy.

We spent about 1 1/2 hours at the Embassy filling out paperwork and answering questions, but there seemed to be no issues.  Now we need to wait a few days for them to send our passports back to us, and we will be ready to travel.

We spent some time at Dupont Circle just down the street from the Embassy.  The girls' favorite thing of the whole day was trying to catch the birds.

We ate lunch at Union Station with our favorite tour guides.

Then it was time to get back on the VRE to Manassas.

We spent the next several days traveling to other locations in Virginia visiting family.

It was a fun, memorable trip.

Keep praying for us as we prepare to travel in several weeks.

We have tickets!

It's official, we have airline tickets for July 15!  The first part of our paperwork made it through the maze of the Jamaican government, so we are able to get our visas.  July 15 is only six weeks away, around 40 days or so.  My heart races a bit when I hear those numbers!  We are starting to get to the place of "one more time" to do this or that, and that makes it seem even closer.

Carrie is doing an excellent job of sorting, boxing, and tossing.  Our house is slowly being transformed into boxes of moving sale items, storage items, or trash pile items.  We are planning to have a huge moving sale Friday June 27 and Saturday June 28, so if you are in the area, make sure you stop by!

We are also excited that we have a teacher for next school year.  Tammie Weaver has consented to come to Jamaica as a teacher for our girls, and also be an extra hand around the house.

We are planning to do a little traveling yet, and have a family outing or two on our to-do list.

Please pray for us as we continue to make preparations!
