No Disneyland for us...

10/6/15-Right before our world was turned upside down, I took Steven to Disneyland for his 60th Birthday.  I wanted to do a surprise party but he isn't good about letting me know when his business trips are.  When I told him I wanted to do a party, he was all for it but we were going to wait until the kids were home for the summer and could be there too.  That obviously didn't happen because you would have been there!  To celebrate such an awesome event, we went to Disneyland and stayed at the Grand Californian.
Ashley and Erik bought us park hopper passes for Christmas.  It was glorious!  Disney is such a class act. Once they found out we were celebrating his 60th, it was red carpet all the way.  Steven thought it would be a great idea to get season passes.  I don't want you to think I am a pessimist.  I consider myself a realist and with a pending diagnosis, I didn't think that would be a good idea.  He insisted and not wanting to ruin his fun, we bought season passes.  And you guessed it, we never used them again.
After he was diagnosed, his hematologist said no Disney for you!  As disappointing as that was, it made perfect sense for us to not go in light of his immunocompromised system and all the great measles carriers out there!  I promise not to get on my soapbox on immunizations.  You know what I think.....  Do you know he will have to repeat all his childhood immunizations in a year?  That's a long time to not go to Disneyland when you live in southern California.
