Word on the street is that GoofyDad went out last night to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Chicks' thread.
Looks like he may have gotten carried away. What do you girls think?
Nice ink!!! Yeah, you have one Zima too many, do something stupid, and they laugh at you for years... But at least this time I didn't have to come up with a name 9 months later (I think).
Besides, the timeline is a bit wrong. The bachelor party was Friday night, so that tat' must have happened some time early Saturday morning.
For our soon-to-be trip, we have dining ADRs now. KAMommy was sick yesterday so that's what she did. I'm along for the ride at this point, once the Planning Machine takes over... The only thing we still have to reserve is a rental car. Or maybe the New Car Fairy will visit us before then, but I ain't holding my breath. We'll have a 1-bedroom at Old Key West (my 2nd favorite resort).
So far, our cover for the trip is an air show (make-believe) around Ocala FL that I REALLY want to go to - I've "heard" that it features a rare Japanese WW2 Zero fighter plane in flying condition. So that's how we'll play it if they overhear us talking about going to Florida. My son is the one we really need to trick - he can figure stuff out pretty well so hence the need for an elaborate story. And since I'm a WW2 aviation buff and tend to babble about the "interesting" things I learn about it, my son knows that an authentic flyable Japanese Zero is very rare indeed in this day and age. I don't think there's more than 3 or 4 flyable Zeros in the world. Mitsubishi designed and built the Zero and used an exotic (for the time) high-strength alloy for the major structural elements that degraded quickly with age. Some people have built Zero replicas since then (movies that had Zeros like "Tora Tora Tora" actually used AT-6 Texan trainers fitted with slightly different wings to look like Zeros) but a real one is worth travelling from far and wide to see for aviation geeks. Seriously, one of my dreams in life is to get to Oshkosh WI for that air show before I die, so it's not an unbelievable story...
So as we're driving by Ocala I think I'll say something like "Well, I don't feel like going to an air show today - let's go to DisneyWorld instead!"
Have a happy and safe 4th! Happy anniversary, y'all.
It was fun though so I can't complain. 
I need to give the monster a name. Any suggestions?
I like it!
Happy Birthday to me!
