We planned the dates a year in advance. As our house sale pushed further and further into the summer, I told Luke, "You know we'll end up moving right when it's time to go on our family vacation, right." And it was. We moved in Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, spent Sunday putting away what we could. I packed us all up on Monday and then as soon as the kiddos were out of school we left. It was so hard to leave the house so unpacked, but helloooo............ Mickey was calling!
First stop, pick up Luke's mama in Castle Dale and then SQUEEZE her into the car. We were loaded so tightly! We (as in Luke) drove all night. We finally checked into our hotel room around 3 a.m.
When we woke up (groggily, or course) it was pouring rain..... and i mean POURING! We went Luke to the closest store to buy some umbrellas and then later than planned, we took off for the 15 minute walk to Disneyland. By then we were all nearly soaked through, but just as we were waiting to enter the park, the rain slowed down to a light sprinkle.
We had some excited girls on our hands! (me included!! I LOVE DISNEYLAND!)
It was a fantastic day! After a completely full and exhausting day we walked back to our car (15 minute walk) and then we had a 45 minute drive to get to our hotel in Dana Point where we would stay at the rest of the trip. (Super discounted stay was nice, but driving that far every day in California traffic is NOT recommended.)
