Moving Trip (Part 2) - Day 5

I woke up early and spent the morning packing and planning for my departure the next day.  Erin texted to ask that I pick everyone up at 1000 (for Father's Day Brunch) so I waited at my apartment.  After I arrived at Nicky's, as planned, we drove to the Del Ray neighborhood in Alexandria.  We had trouble parking but I eventually found a place.  We then walked a few blocks, arriving at the Del Ray Cafe at about 1020.  We were immediately seated on a nice (covered) patio outside the restaurant.  The girls were very happy to be able to eat at a restaurant (their first time for them since the COVID-19 situation started).  We ordered some really good breakfast food and everyone ate well.  We had a nice conversation - it was great to spend time with my daughters!  We finished eating at around 1115 and walked back to our car.  The girls gave me a funny card for Father's Day and I got an REI gift card from Brenna.  After the gift exchange, we drove back to Nicky's house, where we said goodbye.  After I dropped them off, I drove over to the Hayfield area and picked up some sandwiches (for dinner and lunch on June 22) at Subway (1215).  For most of the afternoon, I worked in my apartment (continuing my cleaning and packing).  Brenna called me at about 1500 and asked if she could come over to my apartment.  I told her it was fine and she showed up about 15 minutes later and we spent more than an hour talking.  Eventually, I asked Brenna if she wanted to help me in cleaning and organizing our cars.  She agreed and we spent the next couple of hours working and continuing our chat.  At about 1900, Erin texted to ask if she could come over to my apartment to give me a gift.  When she arrived, she gave me a gift of a framed photo (of her and Brenna) and cookies (Key Lime Snaps).  We got to visit for a bit - the girls laughed a lot about a Smurf (from the Holidazzle Parade in NOV 2010) that everyone wanted me to take to New Hampshire.  After Erin left, Brenna stayed (helping me) until 2030 and we nearly completed all the packing for my departure the following day.  I spent the rest of the evening reading and went to bed at around 2200.
