Since things have changed a bit since I first created this PTR, I think it's time to pull it altogether into a cohesive plan! (The stuff in blue are changes to the original plan)
The only thing left to confirm is Club 33. Hopefully that'll be taken care of this week!
My next task is to make the list of things we want to accomplish in DL/DCA. This is a relatively new addition to our planning binder. Each night, before we go to sleep, we review the list and mark which things have already been done. It gives us an opportunity to decide what we want to do the next day.

51 days until DLR!!

Here are some of the details:
- September 8: Drive to Fair Oaks (with frequent stops). Hang out with my sister-from-another-mother (AKA one of my closest friends). DD and I will take her and her husband out for dinner at our favorite Indian restaurant.
- September 9: Take a morning tour CSUS, then have lunch with my awesome friend MR! We'll leave the Sacramento area by 2 or 3 and head to Stockton to see my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew. We'll be taking them out to their favorite restaurant for dinner. After dinner, drive to Monterey.
- September 10: After our free breakfast at the hotel, we'll hang out on the beach for a while. At 1pm, we'll meet my friend SD at the Monterey Cookhouse for lunch. At 3 we'll go to the Tuesday Farmer's Market (oh how I miss that Farmer's Market). For dinner, we'll meet another friend KD and her son at Black Bear Diner, before meeting JG for coffee at 8pm. (Whew! I'm just tired writing it down!)
- September 11: We'll meet MM at our FAVORITE spot in Seaside for brunch. After stuffing ourselves, we'll visit some of our old neighborhoods before leaving the peninsula by 3pm. We'll take the coastal route south to Marina del Rey.
- September 12: We'll start the day at the beach. At 1pm, we'll tour Cal Arts, then make our way to Hollywood. We plan to have dinner at the Disney Soda Fountain. If we have time, we'll spend some time at the beach before heading to bed.
- September 13: We'll spend all day at The Getty Villa, then drive to DL in the evening. IF we have any energy, we'll check out the villans that are supposed to be out that night.
