And yes, Lucy is just as soft and affectionate as she looks! Then we went out for a lovely Italian dinner.<br \/>\nAnd while I was in Alexandria, I also met up with <a href=\"http:\/\/knitwitknitters.blogspot.com\/\">Stacy<\/a>. Unfortunately, David had the camera while he was out sightseeing, so I didn&#8217;t get any pictures. She took me to a coffee shop where I had the best coffee I&#8217;d had since I arrived in the USA. (And I haven&#8217;t had one as good since, either!)<br \/>\nWe had to depart abruptly, to make it to the airport on time, but we did squeeze in a little stop ont he way to the airport.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020.html','popup','width=638,height=850,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020-thumb.jpg\" width=\"315\" height=\"420\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/019.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/019.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/019-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nJust a super quick stop at <a href=\"http:\/\/knithappens.net\/\">Knit Happens<\/a>. This may have been my favourite store yet, I just wish I&#8217;d had more time to browse, but we were in a hurry for the flight, and David was stopped in a No Parking zone.<br \/>\nI did manage a small purchase.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/032.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/032.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/032-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nWith all these knitting stops, and the flight from Washington to Las Vegas, I&#8217;ve made some pretty good progress on the Shibui sock.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/027.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/027.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/027-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nIt actually has grown quite a bit since then, too. I took a picture yesterday at Disneyland, but there was a mishap with the XD card in the camera, and I think we&#8217;ve lost all the pictures we took at Disneyland. (Over 100 photos. I&#8217;m trying not to think about it, and hoping they can somehow be salvaged!)<br \/>\nYesterday was our second day at Disneyland. We went for the first time on Wednesday, and had our own expert tour guide, Laura from <a href=\"http:\/\/knottygirls.com\/jenla.blog\/\">JenLa<\/a>! We had a great day, Disneyland is beyond awesome. There are not words to describe how much we all enjoyed it.<br \/>\nBut I spent too much time talking to get much knitting done.<br \/>\nWe fixed that in the evening, when we went to dinner, and <a href=\"http:\/\/craftycarolyn.livejournal.com\/\">Carolyn<\/a> joined us.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020108%20058.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020108%20058.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/020108%20058-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnother great meal, with lovely people.
