California!
We’re here! We made it and survived the trip. Normally that wouldn’t be anything to really write about, but travelling cross-country on a packed plane with a squealing puppy wasn’t the most fun travel experience I’ve ever had! Anyway, we got here and it’s beautiful and we’re happy to be here and happy we brought Charlie. Yesterday, after we got here and had lunch, Mark, Seth and I took Charlie to Venice Beach (see pictures above and below). We had a great walk on the boardwalk and got some really nice pictures of him on the sand at sunset.
Today, we spent the day walking around Santa Monica, then Elizabeth and I went for a nice easy run back in Encino. I was supposed to take it even easier than I did and go shorter than I did, but I was having fun running with Elizabeth, so went a litttle longer than I needed to. With the way I’ve been eating the last two days, it probably wasn’t a bad idea to burn a little extra of the crap out of my system.
Writing may be a little less regular while we’re out here, but I’m going to try to keep up as best I can.
