So we are headed from the east coast in the middle of summer. Not the ideal time to visit but the only one that our timeline allows for. I am in the early stages of planning and want to get opinions. There will be a varying group of people. We (myself, DD13, DS12 wheelchair usage) will travel with my parents (68, 82) and then with my DH. I have been to most of the places, except the CA national parks, my kids have only been to DL, my DH has been to DL and the LasVegas area/Grand Canyon, and my parents have been to San Francisco. We will be renting a van. We can't do a great deal in any of the national parks as far as walking, hiking, etc. due to my son's mobility issues and my dad needs flat ground....Nothing is set but am hoping to start making real plans next week for hotels, etc. Any suggestions that you have will be great!
Day 1 - Fly to Vegas and check in with kids and parents- I want to stay on or near the strip
Day 2 - sleep in (maybe with the time difference will be hard), swim, walk some around Las Vegas during the day (I am the only one of the group who has been here), MM store, etc.
Day 3 - check out, visit Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, night somewhere around Grand Canyon
Day 4 - visit Grand Canyon - we can't do much of the hiking, walking etc. with my son's mobility issues
Day 5 - check out, drive through Joshua Tree on our way to DL
Day 6 - DLR with kids and parents
Day 7 - Parents fly home, husband flies in, laundry, visit DTD
Day 8 through Day 10 - DLR - this will be extremely crowded as it is after SGE opens so we have planned more time than really necessary. My kids have been to DL in 2013 for my son's Make a Wish Trip.
Day 11 - check out and travel up the coast to San Francisco stopping to see sea lions, etc.
Day 12 and 13 - San Francisco
Day 14 - check out and head through Yosemite and Sequoia Park - stay somewhere on the way
Day 15 - Drive through Death Valley and on the way to Las Vegas
Day 16 or 17 - check out and fly back home. We may stay an extra day on the end in Las Vegas so that my DH can visit the casino while we rest.
