The Shaw’s go to Disneyland!

This was the very first trip to Disneyland for all 4 of us! My parents went to Disneyland on their honeymoon, and that was as close as I’ve come. Actually this was the first time any of us had been to California. There was a lot of pressure to make the most of our trip....
