Tomorrow we leave for California for a few days.  And...guess what!!  Dd and I are spending all day Friday at The American Girl Store in L.A.!!!  Woo-hoo!  I have waited at least seven years for this day!  There's an American Girl Store in Chicago that I have been visiting every year for the past several years.  I longed for the day when Olivia was old enough for one of their expensive dolls, and in fact, Samantha was one of her birthday gifts this year. 

However, the store!  The one in Chicago is four floors high (if my memory is correct) and has a cafe (with high chairs for girls' dolls!), a doll hair salon, a theater, tons of shopping, a photography studio and more!  Since L.A. is so much closer, that's where we're going.  I feel so giddy that it's embarrassing! 

Saturday and Sunday we'll spend at Disneyland, also one of our fave places.  I love going places with my family, even if it's just Costco.  :o)
