We waited until Sunday to make the move from Floyd back to Richmond to prepare for our yearly trip to Haiti. Goodbye, Floyd and Chantilly Farms – we will be back!!
Hello, RVA!!!!

Hiking Buffalo Mountain
Some locals recommended a nearby hike up to Buffalo Mountain, which is a Natural Area Preserve, and the only known place in the world where the mealy bug Puto kosztarabi can be found. I know you’re jealous.

Family Time
What a fun week we had. Hanging out with my aunts and uncles and cousins at the bus, painting pumpkins with my cousins’ kiddos, walking to the nearby farmer’s market together, enjoying my Uncle Dave’s homemade brew, more visits with my grandma, and we even took in a football game on Friday night at my aunt’s alma mater! My cousin’s son DJ was playing tuba in the marching band! Get ready for family picture overload!

Stop #32 – Benson, AZ
Moving east, we set our sights on Tucson. But, the drive to Tucson was a little too far for one day (we move sloooooow, remember?). Billy has a cousin who is a pastor in the little snowbird town of Benson, AZ so we decided to stop there for Saturday night. This was an Escapees park, which we LOVE! It’s member-owned, so it’s really well taken care of and there are a bunch of older people, which we also love. They enjoy watching the kids play and chatting with them. The campground was all full but they welcomed us into the dry camping lot, which worked just fine.
