Our fourth day at Disney, the kids and I rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad–a rockin’ good roller coaster. As it was THE morning ride of the day, John ran ahead to get us Fast Passes to eliminate a long-line wait for us all. By the time the rest of us caught up, the line was only 30 minutes. So, we decided to ride right then and there. By the time the first time through was done, the Fast Pass was good to go. So, we did. First time through, I recorded the ride looking back at the kids. The second time through, I recorded looking forward. Synced up, you can see 360-degrees of the ride. Twice the fun in one pass.
Why shouldn’t Santa get in line too…

The pay window at the government bailout just got one person longer. What a great excuse to use with the kids. Hope your Christmas is merry!

Our very own version of American Gothic. Kate and John ready to "get some" on Texas' paintball killing fields. Yet another reason I'm proud to say I grew up in New Hampshire.

The young. The brave. The paintless. They remained two of those for about five more minutes after this photo was snapped. John and company head out for paintball conquests.
Road Trip ’09: 4,428 Miles… The planning begins

The kids will tell you, once dad gets an idea in his head, you best buckle up because we'll soon be on our way. And, I have an idea to take the kids on a swing to the northeast this summer. We can visit family on the Cape, see where dad grew up in both New Hampshire and Connecticut. And, see big stretches of the country along the way. Just like our trip west, except without the boring Kansas and Wyoming parts. It's just an idea right now, but that's how all our adventures begin.
