Last Day in Ames

Nothing fancy in this post...

Our last day in Ames was CRAZY busy but also CRAZY wonderful. We finished packing the truck. We had the carpet cleaned.

During the afternoon we went to Ms. Deanna's (Henry's Daycare) and said good-bye to all Henry's little friends. I cried a little bit when we left.

We also visited our "parent" friends Tracy and Bryce and Ella, Henry's little buddy. Henry and Ella met at "Baby Talk" at the Ames Library. I am pretty sure Henry is going to miss Ella as much as I am going to miss Tracy. Leaving their house I cried a quite a bit more.

We visited our favorite toy store, The Pumpkin Patch, and bought Henry a wooden train set and said bye to our friends there. If you have children or are a child at heart, you must visit the Pumpkin Patch. It is a wonderfully, charming store with a loving atmosphere. This time I did not tear up as we were on our way to Angela's Cantina!

Angela's Cantina is this great little eatery on Lincon Way we found just a week before we moved. We ate there three times before leaving. I love the food and music there! The last supper with our friends was tons of fun. We all had sangria save Henry and Adam. Adam, my brother, who joined us for the week to help pack and drive to Auburn, may have been a little uncomfortable with the conversation but survived. Due to web browsing I will leave out the savory details of the conversation in case I ever run for office.

We cleaned the apartment into the wee hours of the night. And left around 8 am in the pouring rain the next morning.
