Night before vacation

August 4, 2023, Friday night, 9:10pm, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California, USA. I am sleeping at the apartment in Aliso Viejo tonight. We have to wake up at 4am tomorrow to catch a 7:10am flight out of Long Beach and I didn’t want to have to travel from Dana Point to pick up the girls. I am tired but they are excited. That have been in the bathroom all night putting on nails and doing beauty routines. Their enthusiasm is fun to see. It reminds me of family trips long ago. Just like them, I seldom slept the night before vacation in anticipation of adventures I envisioned having. I am glad the girls are enjoying themselves and have a similar experience, that is what this time is all about.
