So during my almost 2 week long vacation, I had the please and joy of wining and dining my mother in the one place that creates the happiest memories on earth!! Need I even say the name, or are we all on the same page? Ok Ok Ok fine it was Disneyland. 50 plus years of going and she finally got to go. Talk about a kid in a candy store! Once we parked in GOOFY 4 H of course, she started to poke my arm. "Keni we in Disney, Keni Keni look" I had to inform her this is only the parking garage, there is much more to come. Barley holding on to her seat she tried to control her excitement, we climbed on to the tram taking us to the gates of Disneyland and California Adventure (a little bit more targeted for grown ups). Since I had already gotten a chance to go to CA adventure and Disneyland days before with my Best friend Allie, (post to come later) I had already knew my momma would rather go to Disneyland! However there was this one ride SOARIN over California. She had to go, I wasn't sure how she was going to handle it since she doesn't do so well with heights and IMAX make her sick. So I tell her it only goes a few feet in to the air making you feel like you are flying over the state. So we Climb into this seat, strap on, and the seat rise up well over 30 feet into the air pulling us closer to the enormous screen that stretched floor to roof, sailed us to key spots in California. It feels like we were para-sailing over California. As we went over the fields of grapes a faint smell of harvest filled my nose, same with the pine trees fresh pine sent, even as we flew over the Ca Coast where it meets the Pacific salt and sea breeze filled all around us. Ride ends MY momma still had that 12 year old smile on her face. SUPER! She wasn't sick and was wanting to do more. So we skivvy off to Disneyland! As we walk through the gates into the magical world of Disney I could see my moms eyes tear up she seen the flowers arranged to make Mickeys face. My heart was beaming with joy that I was able to give this to my mom! We walk through the tunnel onto Disney Main street, who is there? Why its lines of kids waiting to see Mary Poppins and the Chimney Sweep, Mickey, Minnie, and even Goofy. She hopes right in line to get a pic with Mary, sadly we were informed that the line had ended and they had to be off.....SAD face. We take off to ride some more lines.
First up is STAR TOURS a Star Wars inspired ride that has been up for a long time. (ride is set to go bye-bye next month) Stoked to walk past C3pO and R2D2 (spelling is possible whack), ride started and went on and as we dismounted things still were sure rocking her world! We went on several other rides including, its a small world (annoying), Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and even walked though Princess Aurora's Castle. We ate lunch at the Princess Fairy Fare, and enjoyed dinner inside the Pirates ride at BLUE BYOU and share a chicken dinner in a super amazing atmosphere. I asked her if she wanted to go to toon-town, she
wasn't sure but was having as much fun as a 5-year on Christmas morning. I swear this woman made a straight line to MICKEYS house, as if she knew where he lived, we walked right thou his home looking at all of his stuff, quite amazed at how the house was built. 20 min ater after waiting in line she met mickey!! Tears building up in her eyes as they started taking pictures of us with mickey. We leave guess what she is singing?! MIC....KEY....M.O.U.S.E...... Since this was her first time she needed ears, since I took my mother to Disneyland, I sure bought her ears!! I love seeing my mother happy! And well this sure did it!! Nothing will take these memories away from me, and being able to give my mom so much joy, was worth sleeping on the floor for a week!!

Some one was so excited she didn't wanna take off her ears for bed!!
