Thanks for reading!!!! I think I am as excited as my kids...since the day we are leaving is going to be kind of a surprise they have been asking me everyday how many days we have left...I have been telling them 10 for the last 3 days...they don't even realize that its still always 10 I can't wait to see their faces when we pick them up from my moms and tell them we are leaving!!! I don't know how much of a report I will do while there...maybe a few updates here and there but I plan on taking lots of pics and doing a full blown trip report when we get home!!

Oh dear. I hope your son is doing okay

Nothing can cheer up a hurt kiddo quite like a trip to Disney!

Thanks it seems to be getting a little better the scab is already starting to come off on the side so we will see!

I got my car vacuumed out yesterday and today or tomorrow getting the oil changed, I may have to go over it once more before we leave with the vacuum, I was planning on washing it tomorrow but we have a chance of storms so that may have to wait til I guess Friday morning because Thursday after work Briley and I are going to get our hair done and our nails. Every day I wake up happy knowing that its one day closer to when we leave!!

Looking back I have realized I have completely neglected to really mention much about the first part of our trip, We leave Friday I am really hoping no later than 5pm, so we will get headed out and probably have dinner about 7 or 8 then hopefully the kids will settle in and me and Brandon will be splitting up the driving and drive to Las Vegas where we are staying at the Circus Circus Hotel I am letting the kids spend about $30 each of their money on this part of the trip and we will be seeing things like the fountains and a few other things that don't cost, then we will get up the 27th and drive the few more hours to Anaheim, I had considered since we will probably get up early any way heading to a beach or something but I think we will just get to the hotel maybe get to check in early and let the kids do their ridemakerz and build a bear in DTD and eat at EOS and get to bed early for our first day at the parks

THREE more days for you! So happy for you! Which hotel are you staying at in DL? I think we'll miss you by one day since we'll be there Thurs to Sun at GCH but I wanted to offer to leave our hotel key for you on Sun at the front desk so you could go to the pool if you wanted if you weren't staying there.

Just keep in mind there's ALWAYS traffic from LV to Anaheim/LA (I lived in both for over 12 years) and vice versa so have snacks ready

Make sure you stop at the weird Alien Beef Jerky place on your drive, take a picture of the ZZZZYYYXXX exit sign, and stop at the World's Largest Thermometer to take a pic of the ridiculous temperature.

We are staying at Park Vue Inn--Thanks for the tips on stuff to do on the drive!!! We love beef jerky and I like alien stuff so I will def try to get DBF to stop there!!! Where is it at? That would be awesome with the key if we didn't have to be there before check out time to use it!

Wanted to wish you a safe trip tomorrow

Oh Girl, you'll see all the signs for those 3 things because it's the desert so they just advertise the same things...but they are fun. And you can't beat the beef jerky - there's no alien stuff, it's just the name

There's a Gyros place on the way and DO NOT STOP THERE! sweaty and gross. It's only fast food on the 4 hour drive so that's why I said get snacks. The kids will get sick of french fries and chicken nuggets and be so tired from all the processed food.

We can leave the key in your name, just DM me and it will be good all day as we have the room until Monday but are leaving Sunday.
