Ok, I figure this is the perfect spot for my first post. My wife and 2 kids are Disney fans as well but I am by far the geek of the family. It appears I am in good company Next trip in 35 days for my birthday, I'll figure out how to get one of those little counters later.

Thanks!

Hey Dads,
I finally found the new thread. I have not been around for awhile but for good reasons. This has been a REALLY busy three months. Started out at the end of April with a trip to Disney for my 39th Birthday. What a great trip. I had planned on doing a full trip report and just did not have the time. I did get to meet a fellow Dis Dad (Emma's Dad) which was really cool. After Disney, I spent the next month getting caught up with work since I was off for a week to go to Disney. Baseball games and flag football games for the 9 year old have been have been keeping me busy as well.


Last year my MIL decided to organize a family reunion trip in June to Bermuda. We had already had our trip to Disney planned and half the trip payed for when we found out. Thankfully, she paid for the trip.

That was quite the experience. It statred out with the day before the trip. I spent all day Saturday June 20th either packing or helping set ujp and tear down our community art festival. I finally got home saturday night around 8 and began the final packing. My wife ran out to pick up some more stuff. The kids were asleep and all of a sudden CRASH from upstairs. I ran up to find my oldest son screaming. Here the ceiling in his room collapsed! Thank God it did not fall on him. What a great start to the trip.

We left out of New York on a Sunday, got to Bermuda on Wednesday and left Bermuda on Friday to come back to New York on the following Sunday. We saw the sun for a total of 1.5 days. We had steady rains, 30-40 mph winds and 12-18 foot seas. It started feeling like the Deadliest Catch. We did get to witness a 3 am middle of the ocean rescue of a small sail boat. We were the closest boat (or is it a ship? I was in the Army so I am not sure) in the area and rescued the poor guy. Ended up he lost his engines in 12 foot seas. My oldest son and youngest son were on and off with being sea sick the whole trip. My wife....well she was sick most of the cruise. Not sea sick.....morning sick!

Turns out right before we left for the cruise we found out that she is pregnant. It must have been the Disney Magic. I will be getting a brand new shiney baby for my 40th birthday.

Like I said it has been busy. Welcome to the CLub to all the new Dads out there. All Dads getting ready to go have a great time and have a Dole Whip for me!

So far.

Tomorrow I start waking up earlier to prepare for my scheduled 4am departure time on Saturday Morning...I usually do all the driving...I just don't like being a passenger. Roughly 10-12 hours driving depending on traffic and weather.

I packed my bag last night so I can help DW and the Boys pack the rest of the week.

Thanks, it is amazing what a little Disney magic will do. I knew we were in trouble when they had sea sick bags located at all the elevators on the ship. That ship was no where near big enough. No matter how much I tried to stay away from my MIL she always seemed to find us.

Holy smokes, Batman! Sounds like it surely has been interesting in your neck of the woods. What caused the ceiling to fall??? It was a Griswald, was it? Crazy!

I gotta say, Kevin, I'm bummed that we did not get any pictures of the 2 of us during that trip! That part of my trip report is coming up and I have no pictures to tell the story

Being ex-Navy, I can envision how that trip went. Been in a few seas like that myself. Hope you had a few good memories out of it despite the weather and sick bodies!

Congratulations! I can't even imagine taking care of a baby at 40! Good thing you have those big boys to help out

Welcome back!
Don

WOOHOO! Soooo close! I'm ecited for you, man! Although, I would not be looking forward to the driving. We're spoiled now with a 2 hour non-stop flight on Southwest
