the trip continued

In the last entry I left you guys somewhere in the boring part of the country.  I apologize for leaving you there, it must have been awful!  Anyhow, we finished our 2nd part of a 3 part trip in Los Angeles so spend a few days with Brandon's dad.  Apollo got to play with some greyhounds, and we scarred some greyhounds for life by bringing a boxer into their lives.  He had a great time, but it's clear that we did not socialize him well.  This was made clear when the greyhounds looked at us like "why did you bring this here...what did we ever do to you!?"  He hopped and play bowed and pounced all over the place, while the other dogs stood there staring at him wondering when the meds would kick in.  When Po got tired he'd get a drink of water...from the swimming pool, and then start all over.  We couldn't blame him too much though, he had been riding in a car for 3 days.  We got a chance to visit the Getty museum and the Reagan museum.  We spent time at the aquarium and were treated out for an early valentines dinner and a movie date, while the adults hung out...apparently though we're in our mid twenties, we're still shunted to the kids table.  We saw "The Kings Speech" which was excellent!  Then we packed up our bags and headed out to complete our journey.  We drove up I-5, making stops in northern California, Portland and then eventually made it to Washington.  For the most part the drive was very scenic and lovely, but then we hit the snow.  We've never driven in snow, and our first time was driving in a truck pulling a car which made it all the scarier.  However, we made it through and arrived safely, praise the Lord!  Now we're hanging out in the Navy hotel until we can move into our house on Wednesday.  The movers are scheduled to come on Thursday, and I can hardly wait to see my furniture, namely my own bed!  I have an appointment on the 28th to see the radiologist to get my 20 week sonogram, which will hopefully tell us the sex of the baby, and then I see the doctor on the 2nd for a check up.  So, that's us!  You're all up to date and out of the south western part of the country :D
