We're back in Boston now.

We went down for the closing and took about half our stuff (all the books,
comics, some of the heavier furniture and so forth).

The original moving estimate was in the $8000 range JUST for interstate
freight fees due to all the heavy stuff - so we moved all that in a U-Haul
and (hopefully) got it down to the point where moving the rest will be
reasonable.

We were only able to stay one night in the house.

Our original plan was move in June (after my son gets out of first grade).
I'm not so sure about that now... we're also considering April (during
Easter break). I know it'll be traumatic but I think in the end it might pay
off to have him spend a few weeks in the new school and meet some friends
early.

He still HATES the idea of moving but seeing the house (and especially his
new room which is more than twice the size of his current one) got him at
least a little excited about things.  We also drove through the major
shopping area and he saw all his favorite stores and restaurants so that
helped at least a little bit as well.

Yeah - I've got about 60 projects planned already and I'm not even there.
