L.A.

Drove to LA today with the kids. Not a bad drive. They were pretty good. They only watched TV for about 2 hours which I didn't think was much considering they had 6 DVDs of Dora crap to choose from. Two stops to run around and one to get gas. We played some nice games of "I Spy" which is hard with Miranda since she said, "I spy with my little eye something that starts with a P" and then later tells us it is a Truck. Parker on the other hand was really into giving fun words like "Four Oh Five" (the freeway).

Kids were delighted, as always to be at Amy's house. They play so well together these days. No period of awkward shyness anymore. They just jump in and start running around as if taking up from where they left off last time we were here. Julia was asleep when we arrived, but when she woke up, she ran out and joined in.

In the evening, I added up Garage Sale Tags as Amy and Eran played quintet music with 2 violinists and a clarinetist. I don't know if they were good or bad, but it sounded nice from the kitchen. I like the deeper sounding instruments more I think. From what I heard, it seemed like the guy deciding the music and the one with the most opinions was the one who kept messing up the most. I could be wrong since I'm musically challenged. Something I mentioned before I said to them, "I liked that last one." They laughed and said, "Yeah, it's Mozart."

Not sure the plan for tomorrow, but I hope it involves a run and a nap.
