Anyone going anywhere, doing anything noteworthy? What you got?

Rah and I are going to D.C. on my birthday, hanging out for a few days, taking a train to Philly to hang for a day, then taking a train to NYC. going to Yankees vs. Braves on the 4th, probably see a couple of Broadway shows. fly back 8 days later. we're hitting restaurants from food shows, cheesesteaks, etc...museums galore, and then Manhattan. Somewhat Hamilton inspired...but also food.

I will work 60 hours a week until September and then go camping in door county for a week or so around birthday.

Sounds really cool. Freewheeling and relaxed Doug. Never got the camping thing.

Yup.
There is a reason all of the bugs are trying to get into our houses.

Camping is awesome. Especially in good weather months like September.

Yup. I work to sleep indoors. I'm not going to role play homelessness.

I guess when you turn soft and faggy it's hard to revert to rugged outdoorsmanlike masculinity.

I have about a two day, one night tolerance for camping.

My wife has brought up taking an rv to Yellowstone. I can’t decide whether it is an awesome idea or one that will destroy our family

Yeah my son graduates HS and we are planning a couple higher adventure camp/fish/rafting trips. I guess I can give anti campers a pass these days if they have an awesome yard, deck and fire pit area. Outside is nice.

And see I didn't choose the snarky path. :lol:

Partially did it as a kid. With my soft and faggy class in 7th grade. I've never heard any classmates look back fondly on it. Or at all.

Different strokes I guess.

You know damn well I'm gonna be a snarky asshole. Handle it.

But yeah pick your times right and your places right and the weather can be awesome and not buggy.
Dw and I went for a week in door county in September and didnt get et up or burned or anything.

Summer trip to DC.

Speeps Jr. wanted to see the Smithsonian and the White House. Probably try to catch a Nats or Orioles game too.

Going to Montana in August to see Pearl Jam. Other than that, just lots of time with little rsg now that tax season is over.

I liked Nationals Park especially the outfield concourse. Haven’t been to Camden, but heard nothing but good things.

I assume the sex was with a girl, but science is doing amazing things these days.



Congrats, Frank!

Yeah, sleeping on the ground while sweating in 90 degree heat with mosquitoes is awesome. Add to that not being able to shower or take a decent dump or eat a decent meal. Can't think of a better way to spend my vacation.

Congrats, Frank.

We are going to St. Joes and Asheville.

Possibly a Sox home Sunday game.

We did this with our two kids.

I am glad we did it this way, can’t really explain it, just glad we did.

Yeaaa, I guess. When I was in my early 20's I had the whole 'travel the world' ambition. Now it's like, eh, who cares. I'd be down to see a game at every mlb stadium though

I always wondered how many first time parents actually ruin the surprise.

I never wanted to, but the technology was a little too clear with the youngest :oops:
