8 Days of Travel with my Four Year Old

Pin It Now! Lydia (my four year old daughter) and I went on an 8-day road trip to Southern California in my DMV last week. We stayed at six different friends' houses, spoke at 4 different churches, went to a Pretend City, and enjoyed a day at Disneyland in the midst of a thunderstorm. It was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. And of course, now we are both sick. Totally predicted that and totally worth it. Lydia came down with a runny nose today and I have had a sore throat for several days. It's the price we pay for being roadies.

Here are some highlights of our trip:

***Stayed in Santa Clarita with my dear friend of 20+ years Brooke and her family.

***Spoke to the MOPS group at Grace Baptist church. Carol-Ann and Annett came to see/hear me there! Not sure if they will ever have me back due to the pure scariness of my appearance.

***Spoke at Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village Church to their MOPS group. Stayed with my friend since birth, Alissa.

***Stopped in for a visit with my newer friend Kerri Pomarolli. She is funny and pregnant. It's a good combo.

***Crashed at my friend Shannon's house. Blocks from the beach. Shannon and I have been friends for about 20 years. You might remember Shannon from earlier posts - she assisted me at Kirk's house.

Lydia and Rhyen (Shannon's daughter) worked really hard to make Rhyen's room an unsafe place to walk.

Shannon and I got pedicures and the girls got their toe nails painted. Does anyone have nasty, crusty flip-flop heels like I do? I feel sorry for my pedi-giver. But little girls sure have cute feet.

And that's just the first half of our trip. Stay tuned for more of our adventure including my "Fake High School Reunion" with some old Hollywood friends.
