DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

[ClearScreen]

Cool looks like a return trip usage of the bar car

Will this be a first?

The first DIS Dad meet in the bar car on the Auto-Train??

I can't imagine that has happened before. But then again, a bar is a bar. And a DIS Dad is a DIS Dad.

Followed by the hangover and getting stuck in Labor Day Traffic in DC and Jersey.

I've done that drive so many times now I can do it sleeping Although sometimes you can walk through Del faster

I need to sleep.

I meant Sunday shore traffic as this will be a few weeks before Labor Day.

Well I think it's safe to say, we would be the only one's that could have a drink in multiple states

We are going to DW from 8/17-8/25 and staying at the Swan. My family is taking the Auto-Train down on 8/16.

Man, I want to move to NY just to do the Auto Train... it sounds so cool

It is my in-laws 50th Anniversary so there will be 10 of us there at the same time. For those wondering, we will not be wearing matching outfits. Sorry.

Ahh... I was gonna loan you a dozen bright orange "Poke me, I'm a Tourist" shirts

The Autotrain starts in Lorton Va right outside DC, we still have a few hours of driving, There is a train that goes from NY to FL, but you can not bring your car and it has a million stops

reviewing menus now.... NY Strip Steak or Filet?

filet is the best bet, but I know sometimes i am just in the mood for a strip, or even a burger. Meat is meat.

My family does it a lot to get down there. I did it once with DW and DD when she was only 7 months old. Never again with an infant/toddler. We upgraded to a private room on the return trip which made it slightly better for DD, but only slightly.

We had the LP of that when I was a kid

OK Dads...we are in the marketfor a new minivan........What would you recomend for looks reliability and resale value...Odyssey or Sienna or some other make?? Need to make a move soon!!

We love our Nissan Quest . It has the same engine as the Maxima so it has great pick up!

And for the record, it is made at the facility in TN. It has more American parts on it than a Chrysler or Ford (Mexico, Canada and China).

Good morning and TGIF

Morning Guys!

To spread a little cheer and good will this morning, I have to pass this along!

Our boss told everyone to take their laptops home yesterday and just to work from home today! Make sure you make all your meetings and everything else!


I was very happy with this announcement.

While we wait for Don to give you your number, why don't you tell us about yourself.

Morning guys,

One month from today I will be waking up at the Royal Kona Resort in Kona, Hawaii. Just booked our Helicopter tour of the volcanos and waterfalls of the Big Island. The trip is officially paid for except the rental car and incidentals. Starting to get really excited. Diving with Manta Rays at Kona and looking at pretty fishes is one month from tomorrow.

My son, the sophomore soon to be junior - pulled straight A's this year, one of which was an AP honors course, so the weighted average is higher then. Last year it was nearly straight A's, with just 1 B.

Congrats Stopher. Rightly proud of him. Enjoy the college recruiting/decision making process.

Congrats on the upcoming trip. I think you will like the Swan.

Love the screen name. Fellow Gator here. We can always use more of us on this board. Not sure if I will make a game up there this year but will be there in spirit. Go Gators.

We are there as well that week.

Happy Friday all!

Welcome to the new guy. Did you bring any bacon?

 

[twokids0204]

It has to do with my business and a certain publication that goes out in July. I would tell you about it, but don't want to run afoul of the powers that be, as I got into trouble for that a while back. No points, but a warning. So I am not talking shop on here any more.

Good answer...

You are to valuable to the DISDad's to get banned for such a trivial act.

Oh, and good luck... it's great to see that you are forging forward with your endeavor in a tough economy.

I'd enjoy the train or flight. Just not yet in the budget. As much as gas is,it's still cheaper to drive.

Good morning and TGIF

Morning Dave but not on the TGIF. That means my staycation is ending sooner.

Finally, a smart management decision.

Morning guys,

One month from today I will be waking up at the Royal Kona Resort in Kona, Hawaii. Just booked our Helicopter tour of the volcanos and waterfalls of the Big Island.

Yet another trip? Where will you be vacationing to recover and relax from this vacation?
