He may like his coffee too strong and might actually sing during church.

My parents "ski" by traveling and supporting Cyclone athletics.
I can't say I don't blame them, it is their money to spend--not mine.We've taken our kids all over the US. I think it's part of their education. We pretty much always drive to the point that when one of them was going on spring break trip with college friends, he wanted to fly and they all wanted to "road trip." He had driven the path they took many times with us.
When we went to DC with a stop at Cedar Point of course, we decided on the way back to go a bit out of the way and go to Gettysburg. We just had the oldest three then and they were pretty young, but we were surprised how much they got out of that. DC trip involved Baltimore and Charlottesville, they really enjoyed Fort McHenry too. DC is great with kids because so much is free.
They all went coast to coast with the college visits for the oldest, from Harvard and MIT to Caltech and USC.

I assume all the rides are made from silicone-based products.
I'm guessing it's pretty similar but with less beer and serial killers.Ha, that was immediately ruled out by both my wife and I. Besides we went to the Wisconsin Dells in September. That pretty much has to be the exact same thing right?
This is one we're trying to fit in (along with DC and Fort Myers) in the next year and a half before child number one goes to college.
My one trip to the UP was a weekend ski trip that I don't remember much of. The one thing I do remember was driving through the unincorporated town of Ino, WI. We're pretty sure the town consisted of one church, two bars and no houses.
My wife and I took a tour of the Hatch Print Shop yesterday, and one of the tour guides showed us one poster the shop made with a picture of Dolly Parton on it. The guide went one to say you can tell age of the poster is due to the lack of "enhancements" on Ms. Parton. I feel like I was the only one who laughed at the joke.
Branson pisses me off due to the sheer amount of billboards they put on highway 65 from Springfield on south.
Molly decided to go for a piggy back ride last night. She's not very good at it, as she decided to climb on his back upside down. She's got her little legs stretched as far as they will go!
Pancake Pantry and Monell's!
Would love to get to the Smoky Mt/Blue Ridge area in fall.
We can make that happen. @mctallerton can you help with a deportation? Someone is not following in line with our leader.
only if they are willing, of course. I have a feeling we will have the opposite problem. But good thing is both sets are close to each other. They can trade during a week or something. Though I suspect once we have kids old enough.......the farm will become the more attractive option with such things as kittens, calves, and things to ride on.
My parents retired and moved into town shortly after I graduated from ISU. Several of my nieces and nephews got to enjoy the farm and I'm kinda bummed my daughter missed out. She would have loved seeing the animals, riding the four wheeler, walking down by the creek, and just having a ton of space to play.
I also missed out on all of the free hamburger, steaks and pork chops that my stupid siblings cashed in on after we butchered something.
.....but I'm not the least bit bitter about that.
Since I have not gone on vacation somewhere I want to go in ten years (not even joking) I hate to say it but I told MrsWx that next year is our last vacation with her family for at least five years. We also told my parents and sister that we are planning to go back to Orlando in 2019 and would like them to come.
