Can't believe you let him take that much time off from soccer. He'll never be a highschool superstar at thay rate.

Paris. They like flying, are used to walking, and don’t mind museums.

He's playing a year up right now against the best club teams in the state, playing center, and right, mid and looking like one of the better kids. He's had the best shot so far (not any more) and was part of both first half goals. Second half coming up. Playing right forward now.

Tonight will be tougher. Just missed...ugh.

Kids were 13 and 6 went to Washington DC. Best vacation ever. Great food, saw all the monuments and museums. They loved it and the sense of awe it instills is palpable. You can’t come away from there without feeling the true power of this country.

Legoland in Carlsbad, CA

When my son is old enough I'm probably going to skip Disney World and do a Legoland Disney Land trip.

Y’all peobably won’t appreciate it, but some of the most memorable times have happened out of Venice La. Offshore in the mornings, and dropping anchor at SW Pass and catching bull red after bull reds.

Fly to LA and stay at Great wolf Lodge down the road from Disneyland in Anaheim. Then drive down to Carlsbad to enjoy Lego Land

YOU MUST BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE PASS at each location

Do The Universal Studios tour and then hit Malibu, Santa Monica Warf, etc.

We did it this spring. It was awesome. Weather was perfect. The boy had a great time and the wife got to do enough stuff that she likes that I was able to have a good time

My daughter and I did a 3500 mile road trip last year. We did Route 66, starting in Amarillo and going west until Santa Fe, NM. We then went south to White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. We spent the last day/night in San Antonio, TX.

6 day trip including a rental car was less than $500. It was a blast and she still talks about it. She was 13.

I have to ask. Was this to give you kids perspective or a threat?

When I was a kid I was always my parents would put me up for adoption.

We went camping out west and went to Yellowstone as a kid. I loved those trips.
