Greetings from Southern CA

Destination Anaheim.  We are on a family vacation!  It’s always exciting to go someplace new.  Finally, I have ventured to Sunny California!  Finally a vacation from home, but never from weddings.

Getting ready to go was no small feat – and deserves a blog post on it’s own.  Traveling with a 6 year old and a 21 month old – is well interesting.  Understandably, I was a bit worried about the plane ride.  Not only was it 5 hours – my 6 year old has a nervous stomach and I have flown with a shirt drenched in vomit.  I have always wondered how he manages to come out clean and I am a mess.  Hhmmm?  Well, I learn from past experiences and had my bags and supplies – proper relaxation medication – and a dose of Benadryl prior to leaving the house.

Well, all the worry was for not.  The plane ride was easy and the kids did beautifully!  However, I came with a laptop, DVD player, and Nintendo – trying to assure something had battery.  Yes, Lilo and Stitch 1 and 2 and Tom and Jerry can keep a 6 year old busy for 4 hours.  Ensuring battery charge is necessary for long trips.

The sky was clear and the mountains were glorious.  I can see why people love the west coast.  The weather is gorgeous here.  No humidity – 70 degrees and sunny – a far cry from the mugginess we left.  Hooray!

When we arrived, it was easy.  Plane, baggage, rental car, drive and hotel – it was seamless – and why shouldn’t it be?  I planned it!  :)

So here I am at 4:26 AM PST – WIDE AWAKE.  The computer clock says 7:26 AM and usually I have done a day’s work by now.  Everybody is hustling on the East Coast and everybody (besides me) is sleeping here.  It’s dark

It’s Disney today and  Hadyn and Ava will love it!  Hadyn is very excited and I am looking forward to experiencing it with them.  Plus, there are things I’m excited to see!

Happy planning!
