I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Discover Boating. I received collateral to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I was selected to be an Ambassador for Discover Boating. This is a nonprofit program that is supported by the U.S. recreational boating industry to encourage and help people to get out on the water and enjoy the excitement of boating. The site is DiscoverBoating.com and it is an online resource for people who are interested in getting their feet wet by boating. I’ve poked around the site a bit looking at how-to-videos, the boat selector guide and tons more information. The one video that I watched that really stood out to me was Good Run which is a man’s reflecting on his life through boating. It is a beautiful video. You can find it on the home page of DiscoverBoating.com. It also shows up as “A Father’s Tale Down Memory Lane”. The Get of Your Dock guide to boating is a colorful easy to read guide with information from the rules of boating to buying and even naming your boat.

Less than twelve hours after graduation Allison, Eva, Andrew and I were on a plane headed down to visit Mimi and Dano for a vacation. As a family we have really hit our stride on air travel preparedness. We wee all up and out of the house by 5:15am and at our gate by 6:30am. The kids slept in their travel clothes, something light for sleeping but substantial enough to wear on the plane. I dropped everyone at the outdoor check in area with the bags and then parked the car. It took me a couple of minutes to get into the terminal. Allison and the kids were already inside and ready to roll. We flew through security so quickly that the TSA looked at us and said that we were really organized.
The flight wasn’t too bad. Andrew and Eva were pretty good on the flight. Andrew had a little meltdown towards the end and so did Eva. I think it was mostly the being over tired plus the ear pressure thing. Some time with the iPad and with some crayons and coloring pages helped them out.
We arrived at Mimi and Dano’s. We stopped at Sonic first for our lunch and then some playtime and off to the pool. Both of the kids were little fish in the pool. Andrew spent most of the time climbing in and out of the pool. Eva did a lot of jumping and playing with the noodles. Then Dano came home and made us some barbecue chicken. We had a nice meal and then time for the kids to bed down for the night. Time to get some sleep.
