Quarantine Life: Day 24, Postponed Birthday Trip

I wrote on Tuesday about having to postpone the birthday trip I had planned for Grant. He knew I was planning a vacation for us, but the location and itinerary were a surprise. Rather than cut out the trip completely from his birthday week, I decided to create a travel brochure of the trip I had planned and present the brochure to him as part of his gift. It’s a promise that we’ll take the trip as soon as it’s safe to do so.

I had planned a whole day at Disneyland, where the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge just opened. We were going to ride the new Millennium Falcon and Rise of the Resistance rides. We were going to have drinks at Oga’s Cantina. Grant was going to build his own droid and get a Baby Yoda stuffed toy. After that day, we were going to spend the next three days on Catalina Island, where our itinerary included a Hummer tour of the island and some downtime at the Descanso Beach Club.

Designing the brochure was pretty easy. I used a tri-fold template on Canva, added some photos and included descriptions of what I planned for us to do. I had the brochure printed on card stock and mailed to us. It arrived today.

Grant was pleasantly surprised and we’re both looking forward to taking this trip one day.
