Packing up is perhaps my least favourite part about leaving on a trip. It wouldn't be bad if we could just leave the house as we want to, but the fact that we rent our place in our absence means that we have to put away all of our personal items, including clothes, toys, food, etc. It seems that, no matter how long I give myself to complete this task, I can always find a way to be up until midnight the night before a big trip.
We literally started the packing up on Tuesday this week, and didn't finish until 1am last night. Ridiculous.
But... now that we are out the door, it is liberating.
The inevitable question started even before we reached the ferry, though. "When are we going to get to Disneyland?". Trying to explain to Em and Zach that we have several stops to make along the way, and that it is going to be a while before we actually get to Disneyland is next to impossible. We made them a little calendar, with all the details of the trip on it, but the question is still being asked almost every half hour. It is going to be a LONG trip... but a fun one, I am sure of it. At least we will not forget it, right? :)
We are spending the night with my sister and her wonderful family in Vancouver before heading down to Seattle tomorrow. Breakfast with Matt's parents... before driving on Good Friday, which should be interesting... hope we make it there before dinnertime!
And so it begins...
