Aloha Uncle Tom and Tiffani

Uncle Tom has had a crazy couple of weeks in his life.  He went to work on Monday (two weeks ago) and was laid off!!!!  Oh no!!  Got a job offer in Hawaii and is moving back to the island.  Tiffani put in her notice at work and they are selling most of their belongings and packing the rest to ship over.  Since there are a few things that they didn't want to part with and couldn't take with them, we got in the car yesterday and drove to Charlottesville, VA.  We got to say good-bye and bring back some of their things to store for them.

Since Bobby loves to go for car rides, we weren't too worried about the travel part of the day. 

Having a great day!!

Took us a little over 5 hours to get there and Bobby only had one little issue, but after we stopped and he "pee pee pottied" it was back in the car with no problem.  We had never been to this apartment before since they had recently moved.  Bobby got to ride an elevator.  You would not even believe that this is the same kid that had to be drug onto an elevator kicking and screaming.

His wheels are spinning..."I would love to run up and down these long hallways"

We weren't even there for 5 minutes before Bobby escaped from their apartment without any of us noticing.  Grandma Carolyn, Uncle Tom, Tiffani, Bob and me running around the halls of each floor and the parking lot of the apartment building hunting for Bobby.  Grandma Carolyn found him in the stair well.  What a way to start our visit. 

It wasn't long until we all calmed down, blocked the door with Tom's luggage and began gathering things to bring home.

Even though it was hot, hot, hot outside with major humditiy, Bobby wanted to go outside.  So, Uncle Tom took Bobby outside to show him around his neighborhood.

Uncle Tom, lets go shoot this canon!!

Big kisses for Uncle Tom

Aren't they sweet!!

Taking a break...boy, it's HOT!!

Bobby was getting tired and ready to get back into the car (really, he just wanted to run up and down the hallways!!), so after an autism meltdown, we loaded the car, had a years worth of hugs and kisses and took off for our 5 hour drive home. 

Bobby is not letting go of the "shaky egg."
