Sunday was a travel day. In the morning we went for another long walk along the Delaware & Raritan canal. We packed our bags, made some sandwiches and drove from Somerset, NJ to Alexandria, VA. We went to Sasha’s place and moved her belongings to her new house for the summer.

Through a friend Sasha had found a new place to stay, much closer to her work. And it’s definitely a great location: it’s in the middle of Georgetown, a few minutes walking away from M-street.

Monday morning early I drove to Durham. I usually have several conference calls on Monday mornings and taking them from the car worked well. I drove to my office in Raleigh. In the evening I had dinner with Belen, Esteban and Hernan in Durham; that was a great way of coming home to North Carolina.

Things are pretty hectic around here. I’ll be in New Jersey for a project for a few more weeks, and Sasha started her internship in Washington DC three weeks ago. This weekend she’s moving to another apartment (much closer to work) so right now we have 4 homes that we could sleep in, in 3 different cities and 3 different states.

Obviously, this involves a lot of travel. Yesterday evening we met in Philadelphia where we had dinner in the train station and then went back home to Somerset. Today we spent a few hours arranging tickets and itineraries for the next few weeks, since we both have to travel for work as well. Tomorrow we’re leaving for Washington DC, and I’ll then continue to Durham, NC. It’s fun to travel, and to see so many different places.

In the afternoon we had time to relax and we went for a long walk/run along the Delaware & Raritan canal, which was great. The weather is beautiful here; very sunny. Then we spend the rest of the late afternoon at the pool, and had a lazy barbecue poolside for dinner.

We drove to the train station in Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, which is about 45 minutes away.

Sasha took the train at 7.00 pm and she’ll arrive in DC around 10.00 pm. Ready for a new week after a great 3-day weekend.

Yesterday the Zanes came over and we had a barbecue at the pool.

It was a lot of fun. There was a shallow pool that Julian liked a lot and after I showed him how to splash water on Mommy and Sashi he never stopped.

The barbecue, for the record, turned out quite well.
