We took an ambling, multi-point roadtrip to Southern California as a reward for completing chemotherapy. The highlight, to the children of course, was Disneyland. We stayed at the Disneyland hotel for 3 nights and visited the parks with the wonderful generosity of Brian's good friend Michael, who is an executive in production at Disneyland. Millie was able to meet countless princesses and fairies and Griffin spent hours exploring the newly themed Pirate Island (we still refer to this as Tom Sawyer's Island). The trip was an opportunity to relax without thinking about medical care (except, of course, the broviac and dressing management) and to enjoy family time. Brian's mom came along with us and was a good sport about being caged with 2 wild kids in a minivan.
(Speaking of which, I am so proud to report that we drove the entire 900-ish miles with no electronic entertainment. The kids played imagination games, read, slept, and chatted the whole way)
