Dr Conkey's

Our trip to L.A. went really well, despite the myriad of family drama. I was feeling a bit resentful that all of it happened to coincide with our trip, then Ben reminded me that even if everything had been fine, some family drama was bound to ensue. That's true, so I felt better.
I made it to Dr Conkey's and had a hazelnut coffee! It wasn't quite the same as it was in the old days, but it was still really nice.
We did lots of shopping at Target whilst there, mainly for the baby clothes.
Part of the time we stayed with my brother, Tony and his wife, Tiffany at their new house in Burbank (boy, is it great!) and the other part with my parents. My parents' dog, Eva was really excited to see the baby, she was so cute with him. I wonder what it will be like when she sees him again next Christmas. I bet she's just going to go wild! My family was really excited to meet the baby for the first time, and he was so well-behaved.
I had a birthday while we were there, we went to a Dodger's baseball game, went to visit my grandparents (who were also excited to meet the baby) and rode on the Metrolink train between Burbank and Simi Valley quite a bit. We also met Annie's son, Roman, for the first time and went shopping with them, and caught up with Vicky, too! It was so nice to see them!
All in all, I'd say it was a great trip! Now if only the baby would start sleeping through the night again!
