Big Trip, part 2---California, here we are!

We arrived in California on Sunday, March 16 and went directly to the apartment complex that was going to be our home for the next month.  But when we realized how much paper work we were going to have to go through before we could move in, we opted to first take care of our top priority---seeing Josie and Evan (and Matt and Cheryl, of course!)  They had just gotten out of church so they drove over to Loma Linda and met us for lunch. Those first hugs in the parking lot of the restaurant were priceless!

After lunch we went and took care of all our paper work and got moved into our apartment.  It was a very nice apartment and was completely furnished with anything we might need, except for wi-fi, but we managed to get along without that. After getting unpacked we went over to Matt and Cheryl's house--it was about a 15 minute drive, and we became very familiar with that drive! 

Our first day in California was very hot---over 90 degrees!  So what could be better than some ice cream from Baskin Robbins?

I've decided that I'm not going to try to do my California posts in chronological order.  I had very good intentions of keeping a journal while we were there, so that I would remember what we did and when we did it. Yeah, that didn't happen.  Well, I pretty much remember what we did, but not so much when we did it.  So the next few posts will follow more of a topical approach.  And since I'm still in the process of getting all my pictures organized,  that process will probably determine the order of the posts.

Next up---Sea World!
