Eric's Dad Vic died unexpectedly this morning. I'm incredibly sad for Eric. Our first instinct was to head home but after much debate of options we decided to carry on. There isn't anything we can do at home. There are no plans for a service just yet.
It's bizarre to be on a family holiday, trying to have fun and make memories when feeling so overwhelmed with sadness. Our thoughts are with you Linda/Mom.
We're about three/four hours away from Anaheim. Lots of time to get to our hotel and head into Disneyland tomorrow.
Jia does not travel well. I can't say that enough. She has lots of high moments but for the bigger part of the day she is unsettled, asking the same questions over and over again. All of us begging her to be quiet. Begging her to watch a dvd. She doesn't seem too interested in movies right now.
To end this post about this very long and weird day, when we stopped at a rest stop in Mondeta we saw the biggest spider EVER. Eric was looking in the garbage for a pop can to put beside it to show the size but all he found was a cigarette butt. You can imagine the hillarity surrounding the photo shoot.
Oh and a very dear FCC cyber friend had her five year old son die this morning (heart). My heart is breaking for her. Mary my thoughts and tears are with you.
