Day 13: Vandzuras, Golf and Grover

Today was a great day...the four of us got to sleep in then enjoy one final day in DC before we headed back to GA....so we spent it with Spark and Gena. The vowel sisters (that's G"e"na and G"i"na) did some shopping while Spark, his son Zach, and I went to ProGolf to hit some golf balls. It was a fun time out there on the range, and I played under Gina's profile so it was funny when it would hit a good shot and the machine would reply "Great shot, Gina." Just how great did she do....well, second highest score for the day. I don't know if they will invite me back to play, but we had a great time out there; Zach can hit the ball really well, and Spark makes it look effortless and smooth as butter!

Walter, our build-a-bear monkey was our mascot from our last IVF cycle with Walter Reed. This time, Gena brought back a Giraffe to commemorate our trip for this cycle, as we had seen an equally cute giraffe in Pottery Barn kids while we were browsing in there. We've named him Grover (after Shady Grove), and he's holding down the fort in the nursery with Walter...awaiting the arrival of the twinz.

Our Saturday finished up with some quick packing and then relaxing, as we readied for the 11-hour drive home. It's an eerily-odd feeling, as we've left an IVF clinic before feeling as though things went awesome and that it could finally be "the time."...we can only pray and hope that this time is different!
