A New Year, A New Home

Well... most of you already know that we have moved to Los Angeles, and if you didn't know you are reading this thinking to yourself, 'THEY MOVED AGAIN?!?'.

Just before Christmas, we were presented with the opportunity to move to LA and join the LA Galaxy. After several weeks of getting the trade done, we prepared ourselves for the long move from coast to coast. I came out for preseason camp at the end of January while Ashley and Caroline stayed in Richmond until the craziness of preseason ended. That gave me enough time to find an apartment, the winner landed us in Long Beach about 2 miles to two different beaches but the one we frequent most is Seal Beach.

We have been in our apartment 4 weeks now and it is really starting to feel like home. Pictures are on the wall, boxes are stored away, clothes unpacked, and our last order of business is adding a little decoration to the princess' room. Ashley has some good ideas and now its a matter of putting it together and finding the right pieces of furniture. We are also still missing our pups who have stayed home to help make the transition as smooth as possible but they will be flying out in a couple weeks.

Plenty of pictures will be coming along with multiple posts backdated to show some of the sights we have seen so far. Thanks to everyone for their help and encouragement during our westward expansion and please come visit soon.

Adam, Ashley, and Caroline....

Long Beach Aquarium


On the recommendation of a friend of ours out here in LA, we decided to check out the Long Beach Aquarium. The price of a membership was only a bit more than admission for a single trip, so we decided to become members for a year and go to the aquarium whenever we wanted.

Good thing Caroline absolutely loved it. Although is was a rainy, nasty day and we really didn't get to enjoy all the outdoor activities in about an hour we saw half of the aquarium not including any of the shows or demonstrations.

Caroline loved seeing all the fish and laughed for 15 mintues watching the seals and sea lions fly past us as we leaned against the glass. I found these couple pictures that give an idea, we didn't fuss with the camera for our short trip. More trips to the aquarium in the future.
