The A Week in My Life series hosted by the lovely Kathryn at Team Whitaker.org continues. Her link up for Sunday is here.
My daily recaps are here:
Saturday was our final day of packing before our trip. It was not the easiest thing to pack for since we were spending three days at Disneyland where the current temps were 90 degrees. The following three days would be spend at my parents home, which was in the high dessert, one and a half hours away from Disneyland. The forecast showed temps to be 49 degrees for the high and 24 for the low. Twenty – freaking – four! So one half of the suitcases were filled with shorts, tees and bathing suits while the other half of the suitcases were filled with long pants, thick sweaters and scarves!
I sorted out everyone’s outfits on my bed and it looked something like this.
Packing the car is always an interesting experience since I tend to overpack. Everyone makes fun of me but when we are out on the road and someone says, “Dang, I wish I had packed a fill-in-the-blank,” chances are good that I may have one tucked away in a suitcase! š
When Brian saw my pile of bags by the door he told me that there was no way that I’d be able to get all that stuff into our mini-van. Au contraire, my dear! I simply channeled my inner Fred Mertz and got it all in there. š
We closed the day with a beautiful Mass to celebrating the feast of Christ the King. It’s hard to believe that Advent starts next week!

It’s 5:30 AM. Let the road trip begin!
The vineyards are starting to look golden.
We had a tire problem in Camarillo but thankfully a kind mechanic at the gas station fixed it without charge. God bless you, Sal!
We finally arrive at Disneyland! (Although we spend the late afternoon in Downtown Disney and hit the magic kingdom tomorrow. š )
The day would not be complete without a trip to the Lego Store!
After such a long day, we are ready to enjoy dinner and the Rainforest Cafe then call it a night!

It got to the point if we go somewhere for more than a weekend, I just make sure there is a washer and dryer there so I don’t have to bring so much. Hubby also doubts things will fit in the van, but when there is a will there is a way. š I love seeing all the DL pictures! I am going to try to call when you guys are at Mom & Dad’s house.
