A conversation between Scott and his Mom...

Mom - “Dad and I are sitting here talking and we think we’re ready to travel again and we want to know if you’d help us plan the trip because you’re really good at that stuff.”

Scott - “That’s great! Where do you want to go?”

Mom - “Dad said he wants to go to Disneyland.”

Scott was surprised because Dad isn’t a let’s go the Disney Parks type of guy. He doesn’t dislike it or anything….it’s just not what Scott expected to hear.

Scott - “Disneyland?” And then joked, “When are we going?”

Mom - “Oh, will you go with us? Please go with us.”

Scott - “Mom, I was just kidding. I’m not crashing your vacation.”

Mom - “Please go with us. You know your way around Disney. You’ll be able to help us. We love you and we don’t get to see you that much. Please go with us.”

So back in April of 2015, Scott, his wife, and the kids did a California trip with some friends. They started in San Diego and then made their way up to San Francisco, making stops in Anaheim and Monterey. Scott's parents came in from Las Vegas and joined them in San Diego and at Disneyland but that was a while ago…so when his Mom asked him to join them on this trip, these thoughts raced through his mind:

Mom recently turned 75, Dad just turned 82, things aren’t getting easier for them, and time keeps on moving despite Scott's best efforts to stop it. His parents live out west and Scott lives on the east coast. The three of them get along and they love spending time together. Scott also thought that Mom and Dad walking and navigating the parks would be a challenge...and he didn’t know if or when he'd have this chance again.

And that’s how this trip came about.

Enjoy Disneyland with Mom and Dad - Part 1...with some special surprises throughout!
