We got up and drove to Los Angeles, actually the Valley to Jen and Brian's apartment.  Only Brian is not there, he is in Texas.  Jen is leaving to join him on Saturday May 28.  We volunteered to help her finish the packing and also took up some stuff that was still at our house.  Also for those who are in the dark, Jen is pregnant with her first child, and our first grandchild.  And he is going to be born in Texas.  What is up with that?  Wife-Califonia, Daughter- Califonia, Grandson - Texas.

Eventually they will get caught up on their blog and tell the story much better than I can.  They are going to close to her sister, Courtney and David so that part is good.


 
So we got there and grabbed some lunch.  Then started packing up boxes.  Ran to Lowes to get more boxes.  Packed more boxes.  We finished right before dinner.  Jen took us to a great place she has talked about on her blog.  Stonefire Grill.  It reminds us of Pat and Oscars with a twist.  The closest one to us is in Orange County.  I really recommend the Tri Tip.  Excellent choice.

Jen was tired so we headed to our hotel.  We passed a Box Store on the way so we did some research on the laptop because we needed a different size than the ones at Lowes.
 
We got up the next morning, hit the Box Store then went to Jen's.  For breakfast we went to a restaurant in Tarzana called Cici's Cafe.  It was so good, with a huge menu and crazy portions.  Check out the pictures of the place and food, then look at the menu on the link below.  So good.

We pretty much had finished everything yesterday so we said our goodbyes and headed back to San Diego.  Happy for them, but sad too.
