The morning of June 25th a Sunday, I woke up to the air conditioned house. I walked to my closet to get some clothes on, all that was in there were a Splash Mountain T-Shirt and a pair of shorts. This was odd I thought to myself. I then go out into the kitchen to get my instant breakfast. But before I do anything I look at the clock
. It says it is 4:00am
. I am just stunned, why did my alarm go off four hours early on a Sunday. I take a peak to see what it looks like this early in the morning. That is when I realize the car is not in the driveway. I run back into the house to tell my parents that the car is stolen, but they are not there. Then I go to my sisters room
She is not there either. The animals are not here. No dogs, cats, birds
WHERE ARE MY FISH??? Okay I whats going on I ask myself? Has everyone evacuated the house but did not tell me? Im thinking at this point and I start crying.
Then I hear the screen door open, its my dad, my mom, and sister. They are all wearing the same outfit variation as me. My dad says in a serious tone Get in the car we have to be at your grandparents house NOW! Then my mom hands me a plain green gift bag and instructs me not to open until we leave to the grandparents house. I do as they say.
MY dad gets out of the car and says for everyone to get into the grandparents van. We do as he says. No one messes with him this early in the morning and gets away with it. I then realize that something is going on. My grandpa comes out of the house with a tray of coffee and two gift bags. Im thinking jeeze I just graduated two weeks ago and I am still getting a bunch of gifts daily? (I know greedy. .haha) He hands everyone a cup of coffee and hands his two grandchildren a bag. My mom tells me to open the bag she gave me. So I did, inside was a pin lanyard with Disneyland park passes. I start screaming with joy. Then my sis tells me she has been keeping this secret all week and has been dying to tell me. We open the presents from our grandparents, it is a plush Mickey with Disney dollars.
By the time we are done with the excitement we are at the Portland International Airport for our 6:00 am flight. It is now 5:15 am ..
NEXT: Flight, Hotel and Park Day 1 Part 2 of 2 (or 3 I have not decided yet )
Will we make our plane? How did they plan this without telling me a single word? You will find out in the next segment of this tale.
