Tuesday, June 15, 2021 Tonight we went to the Greenwood High School girls' tennis banquet. Savannah was so much fun to watch, both during the season and tonight with her fellow tennis teammates.

Trip 1 to Bulgaria
In September of 2020, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, after months of filing paperwork, and waiting on our next steps, we finally got word that we would be travelling to Bulgaria to meet Miglena, the girl that we have been talking with, and hoping to eventually become our daughter.

June 2021 Update
UGH! I'm not sure I'll ever get out of this cycle of making updates so infrequently! It is what it is I guess. Anyway, here's a quick update on what's been going on with our family.

Day 1: Travel From Home to DC Area
Saturday, March 16, 2019 Up and at 'em! The plan today was to leave at 7am and to expect about 12 hours on the road. Driving time was approximately 9 hours or so and we expected to make several stops along the way. All in all it was a pretty easy drive.

Day 4: Capitol Tours and Mt. Vernon / Alexandria
Tuesday, March 19, 2019 Left the house this morning at 8:15. Traffic this morning was pretty crazy and added about 10 minutes to our drive into the metro DC. Finding the reserved parking spot was a little hectic. Should have left at 8:00. But in the end it was okay. We did end up hoofing … Continue reading Day 4: Capitol Tours and Mt. Vernon / Alexandria
Day 5: National Archives, FBI Building Tour, and Museum of the Bible
Wednesday, March 20, 2019 This morning we had a little break from the norm and decided to take the subway into town and leave the van at home. It ended up being a costly decision as the subway system is not that cheap to ride for our little family of 7. But it was quite … Continue reading Day 5: National Archives, FBI Building Tour, and Museum of the Bible
