I love the TR installments!

Isn't DH sweet to help DD? That is above and beyond!!
The beach looks amazing. Be glad you aren't in LA this week. There are such high winds! Crazy stuff, and definitely no fireworks, Fantasmic, or WoC for sure. I heard that there were gusts of 98 mph on one of the peaks.
The hot cocoa and cookies look so good.
Be careful out there.
I am so glad we flew out yesterday. DH doesn't work until Saturday and we debated staying until Friday. I am so glad we didn't. Our winds are so high here that they have closed our schools for tomorrow! DH had to go to the FD on mandatory overtime/call back today which hasn't happened in years. The hospital I work at lost power and a generator and ran on one today. So happy I didn't have to work.
Checking out the GCV the night before for a little treat was just perfect.
Oh wow! This is so late in the year for what I call a fire wind. Normally October is the latest for them and by this time if we get the wind it is with rain. I hope DH doesn't have any bad stuff to deal with. I am glad you didn't extend too, I can't imagine it's too fun there right now.
Our pixie dust cup runneth over. We were this close to changing flights and doing another beach and Disneyland day each. We would have stayed at my friend's another 2 nights.
They had fires and roofs blown off, tons of power lines down and gas leaks galore. It's nuts tonight. Of course we are getting the kids pizza and going for Mexican food.
Oh wow and I am headed out on the highway to Sacramento. I am not thrilled to be going on the highway but I am driving my girls and my bff's daughter to a concert tonight. Yeehaw. Hopefully the wind will back down a bit.
Yep, the GRR being right outside the door + the dryer in the villa was what had sold me on buying VGC points before I ever walked into the presentation. After every stay its hard to not want to buy more points but DH is making me wait for the DLH Villas.I wanted to share one last insight on the GCV before I start this report is proper order. This place is amazing I enjoy the total emersion that this resort offers. Riding GRR 6 times in a row and being able to run across the way and up into our villa to change into dry clothes rocks!

Be safe girl! You are such a good mom.
I'm working on an update already. Chloe is at a friend's, Gabby has a friend here, and DH and Joshua are watching football. I'm almost finished with the laundry. I should be scrubbing toilets but instead I am sitting in front of the tree and fire cuddled with the dogs and DH's Macbook.
We watched the fireworks on Wednesday night, and WOC last night. Not all that windy at DLR, really. I do think the fireworks were canceled last night, but it was just breezy.
Jenny, I'm having fun reading through your TR this morning before we check out of the HoJo and into the DLH. Two more days of DLR fun for us. I'm wondering if my feet and legs can take it???
Looks like you got off to a great start! So did you stay in Long Beach? If so what section? What beach did you go to?
You modified you post of your itinerary, originally you were going to Westwood for a tiillitz?
Not to be nosy...just curious...

If you don't mind my asking, which villa did you get? Was it 4500? We had that one last year and were blown away by the view and it looks so similar ...

The wind was strong but the drive wasn't that bad. The wind warnings are down now but I don't think they told the winds. We are still having gusts of 35 mph and up. Crazy.
I'm here and loving it so far! I have serious beach envy at the moment, not to mention holidays at GCV!
