Andrew Moves to Japan! 2015

Today Andrew is moving to Japan! He will be teaching conversational English to businessmen, and exploring Japan without a car for the next year... or possibly two!

So last weekend, we went up to the Cape to have some quality bonding time and to have a little family going away party for him. Saturday we had the party with Andrew's favorite meal, his mom's spaghetti and meatballs, Great-grammy's award-winning apple pie, and a cheesecake that said Bon Voyage Andrew!

On Sunday, we had some more fun playing with the kids by the pond, going on a family hike in Shawme-Crowell State Forest, while Great-grammy and Grand-Aunt Mary babysat Miranda who is not hiking-ready yet.

We also popped over to "church" which is what Kevin's entire family calls the 28 Club. They are quite "religious."

Everyone will miss him a great deal which has been evidenced by the outpouring of support and sadness on his Facebook wall from all his friends in Florida. For those of you not friends with Andrew on Facebook, it was seriously epic. Like a Facebook birthday times five million with old pictures and stories about Andrew. But mostly, people are really excited for Andrew. It's an instant win to be going on a huge adventure! I'm super excited he started a blog "Memoirs of Japandrew" so that in a small way, we can go on the adventure with him! Congratulations on doing something super awesome, Andrew!
