Son Takes Mum On 20 Trips Around Europe To Say 'Thank You'

 An appreciative son has taken his mum, 77,  on 20 adventures to thank her for the 20 years she spent caring for his father. Barton Brooks, 45, and his partner Gregg Goodbrod, are currently halfway through visiting 20 different places in Europe with Barton’s mum Carla. So far they have explored Paris, Switzerland, London, Wales, Budapest, Prague and Bavaria.

Barton said his mum taught in a school for 30 years and was just nine months from retirement when her husband had a stroke.  Her plans were changed in an instant. Barton’s father was left unable to care for himself, which resulted in Carla providing round-the-clock care for him right up until he passed away last year.

Barton said that after his dad died, his mum became “completely lost” and also seemed to lose her sense of adventure. Barton hopes to rekindle his mum’s sense of adventure through this special trip across Europe. See more pictures after the cut....
