When we woke up in Dana Point, CA, it was officially time to head home. One significant stop in California:
I have spent the last 5 birthdays at a Disney Park, and this year I was planning to go to Tokyo Disneyland, but it was closed. Disneyland was closed too, so I just took this sad little photo outside the entrance.
And then we drove on. And on and on. The first day we drove about 6 hours and slept in Sacramento. What a boring drive. The scenery was pretty monotonous. Boring photo of the GPS:
The second day we drove about 7 hours and slept in Springfield, OR. The scenery was slightly more interesting, but that extra hour of driving made it just as rough. Here’s a photo of Joss the last day before I had to pack up my stuff.
My favorite part of the second day was another steak out of a takeout container. Yum.
Third day was the last day. We stopped for a leisurely tailgate brunch in Portland, we made an ice cream stop in Chehalis, and we arrived at my sister’s house late in the afternoon. We got Polynesian food for dinner, which we ate at a picnic table outside the airport.
I didn’t realize how well Joss’s outfit would match the airplane!
And before you knew it, we were home.
I’ve never been this sad that vacation is over. Probably because we still don’t know when we’ll be allowed to travel again. So it felt really good to be able to blog about it; I hoped you’ve enjoyed reading it!
