What you think does matter

First thing I learned is that you never expect to get what you thought out of any hotel you stay at - so this vacation I planned to have fun and not expect much from the hotel. Not what my wife wanted. So we - meaning she decided we were going to spend spring break vacation at a wonderful Hotel that had 2 water parks. One was an indoor water park and the second an even larger Wet n Wild type water park right in the hotel. Ok, I was expecting the worst. Hotel Coco Keys Orlando Florida Ok it was not a 4 star hotel, but it is very nice. Room is nice, pretty big and spacious. Our room was on the first floor and when we walk out we walk right into the hotel water park. Cool, I liked it. The bathroom is where I had the funny problem? Ok, nice room, big large space with a sofa bed and a nice king size bed and loved the plasma TV. But the bathroom.... The bathroom was nice and big but made for handicap people only. Not to offend anyone but really only made for handicap people -Not an opt

Always do more than planned It doesn't matter how much there is to do at the hotel - Coco Keys is great and all with it's two water parks being right there but it closes at 7pm and then what? And considering how much money I spent in the large arcade room - I needed to do something more. So, I started planning in hopes of getting ahead of the wife and kids coming up with some crazy idea to go somewhere and spend an outrageous amount of money on something silly.

So you know I had to be prepared for the "What do we do now Dad?" So I decided to take the kids to a big Movie theater.. not like home. An Imax theater to be exact and try to have some fun. First I was going to make the son happy ( and me too ) and watch the new "Battle: Los Angeles " movie...... not so good. The daughter started complainin

Life is So unfair at the beach ??? Oh how unfair life can be. As promised I wanted to share my trip with you. I had to go to Venice Florida for some training and my Boss was gracious enough to put me up in a beautiful condo right on the beach. He even suggested that I bring the family along so we could have a nice time of it. At first I was leery of one - taking him up on his offer - second, taking my family along for the ride. But the more I thought about being away for two days the more it sounded - ok. Ofcourse my wife loved the idea. The minute she heard that the condo was right on the beach and that the back door opens up right on to the beach - it didn’t take her long to start packing. So what’s so unfair about life and this situation: well, where do I start. Let me begin with how first it wasn’t a trip for me - I had to work, and while I woke up early and went to bed early because I had to be at work - my kids and my sweet wife enjoyed the beach [ see the pictures below and the
