Tomorrow is the day finally.  We’re on a plane to my Aunt’s house in Redondo Beach, CA.  Totally excited to get our first true family vacation.

Laundry is almost done, dishes are caught up and ready to go after breakfast dishes are put in.  It’s only 10:30 here but I think I’m off to bed so I can get up early in the morning and finish everything up.  Our good friend is living with his mom right now since the divorce (still making house payments while she lives there, another post, lol) so he’s going to house sit next week and take care of the dogs.  Hunting season opens in the morning so I’m also going to have the teenager come over during the day and weekend while he’s at work and hunting.  I’m still stressing out about leaving my babies behind, but it has to be done.  :(  I’m going to miss them lots.

My Aunt’s bday is Monday and she has booked for us to go to Catalina Island.  Looks gorgeous and EXPENSIVE.  Yikes.  We are only bringing carry-ons so no room for dress clothes.  Then we will get to knottsberry farm on one day and hopefully a touristy trip to LA.  We’d like to check out USC and some other places around.

I got a cool new laptop bag on clearance at target.  Only $9.84 and it fits my huge laptop.  woohoo, will bring that with so I can blog at the end of some days or early mornings.  I needed a bag anyway and I just couldn’t go 8 days without my computer.  lol  So when I was picking up books, magazines and snacks and saw the bag I knew I had to grab it.

I’m not packed, but I doubt it takes me too long.  I’m not picky and thankfully my Aunt and I aren’t that different in size.  I’m sure I can wear her stuff down there if needed.  lol Look for awesome fun posts to come.  OMG, so excited to go on vacation with my family!
