Pittsburgh to Baltimore 8/15 -- 8/17/2021  [Back to Photo Page]

Getting there ...

The final leg of our trip was to help Iris move her stuff from Pittsburgh to Baltimore to prepare for her new job.  Woanyu and I drove from Shenandoah National Park in the morning, and had a smooth 5-hour scenic drive.  The timing was so perfect that Iris and Henry appeared at the arrival hall at the Pittsburgh Airport when I finished the paperwork for the rental car.

• Pittsburgh
  We drove back to Pittsburgh Downtown (Iris drove our Prius and I drove the rented minivan) and had a dinner at the Station Square along the river side.

8/16 ... 

• Ready to Go
  We had an early start (before 7AM) to drive to Iris's friend's place to pick up her stuff:  boxes, luggage, containers, etc.  It was a wise decision that I rented a minivan so we can fit everything in the car without any trouble.  At 7:30AM, we were ready to go!
  

• Iris's Apartment, Baltimore
  With 3.5-hour smooth drive (Iris did drive fast...), we arrived at Iris's apartment before 11AM and ready to check in.  It is a new and modern apartment with fancy amenities (well, Iris will pay her own rent :-)).

• Shopping
  After moving in all boxes and luggage, it's shopping time now.  We spent a long afternoon at a local IKEA for some furniture and kitchen stuff.  After dinner, more shopping at a Target.

8/17 ...

• More shopping
  We went to Iris's apartment in the morning to check out her progress.  No surprise, more shopping (and some returns) were needed ...

Going Home ...

We were at Baltimore Airport at ~ 1PM for our final flight home.  It's been a long journey to go this far:  Linus and Miriam have finally settled and can enjoy their life together; Iris has just started out of her comfortable zone to experience the real world for her first job.  It was not complicated only for this trip; it was so complicated for the whole journey for so many years.  We are so grateful that everything went smoothly and almost perfectly.  Life is so good when we look back through all the journeys we have taken together!
