We Drove down to California about a month ago to celebrate Eleni’s birthday with our family down there and to go to the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show. Eleni was awesome on the car ride, sleeping most of the way. On our way down we made sure to stop at the LA Zoo. It is one of our favorites and we brought our friend Brian with us who had never been.
Here is Tyler Showing Eleni the meerkats.
Tyler, Eleni, and Brian looking at the Komodo Dragons. We had to go back and look at them a couple of times.
GO-RIL-LA! (quoted from Tarzan)
Of course there was her party. (For more pictures, see previous post)
All she wanted to do at the show was touch all the animals. John got her this snake and she was fine after that. She refused to lay down without it.
I was able to go to Camarillo and spend a few days with my dad and his wife. It was a good few days. Eleni got to go to the beach for the first time. She was pretty good about it. She thought it was funny to walk in the dry sand but wasn’t too keen on the cold water hitting her feet. She liked watching it go over mine while I was holding her though.
Dad had a set of dominos that he would stack and Eleni would knock them over. It was hours of entertainment.
She did great on the flight home. Slept the entire first flight to Phoenix, then had a good time on the flight to Boise. We had an entire row to ourselves so I took advantage and had her sit by herself. She was flirting with the flight attendants and all the people sitting around us. She got many compliments on how well she did.
It was a great trip and I can’t wait to go back.

It's tough when you guys come down. Waaaay too many people that want to see Eleni (and you guys too!)and not nearly enought time to be able to spread out. She was a real sweetheart though and everyone enjoyed her so much! So grateful for the time we did get to spend. So looking forward to it again!
