Day 1 - September 29th

Furiously pack and run errands. Feed kids, dress kids, pack car. Leave house around 2pm so kids will nap. Drive 2 hours to hotel near LAX (Los Angeles Airport). Caught in traffic on I-5 due to some fire south of The Grapevine. So 2 hour drive turns into 3 hour drive. Kids only slept 1 hour, they complained the rest of the drive. Check into hotel, nicer than we thought. Bellman suggests cafe/bar on penthouse level. It's casual, we order pizza while girls sit by window and watch planes take off and leave. I have a glass of wine...

Olivia still does not know we are going to Walt Disney World in Orlando. All she knows is we are going to visit her cousin and go to the beach (later in the trip). She also does not know we are meeting her 'best friend' from Danville.
