My kids' spring break is next week. They are Ryan who is 9 and Rachel who is 4. I will be dragging the big camper to the Daytona beach KOA for the first half of the week, Jekyll island campground for the latter half.

It's what we do. Love living in the camper, time together, we are crazy about the beach. Really looking forward to the ride. It's only going to be about 1,000 miles round trip but we sure do love ridin in the truck.

They built a really great new park in our town. "Problem" is that it is too far to walk to so we have to drive. Sometime I think the kids like the drive just as much as the park! It's only about a 2 minute drive but sometimes it takes 1/2 hour or so. Plus we usually hit dairy queen on the way back.



Here is a pic of my little guy Gabriel (2) having some fun!

Eventhough we had a slight tailwind on the way to Vegas @ 65 MPH I could not believe the milage I was getting without it being broken in. On the way back we had a strong headwind and we averaged 16 mpg. Love driving this truck better than any vehicle I have owned before. The wife loved driving it too which is a big plus! CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO ADD PICTURES?

scroll down to use the go advanced button and click the manage attadchments button to browse your pc and upload...

watch the sizes for each type that are displayed and you should be good...
If it doesn't upload - probably too big for that type file...

(I too thought the "manage attachments" was a poor choice for what it does - append pictures to the end of your post )

here's a pic from the Navarre beach condo we vacationed at:

Awesome stuff guys!!!

Darren that's a great picture or the little man.

Roy I ended up with a five and a half day vacation. Had to do some follow-up stuff this morning but I got out of there by noon. Just in time to get the mowing done and take a nice relaxing drive in my baby!

Oh and fantastic picture of Navarre Beach, J! I'm jealous. Looks like the beach is a little ways off for us this year. We were originally going to go around the beginning of May. The wife has to go to a conference in Raleigh, NC in June so we're going to make a week out of it and hit Nags Head and the Outer Banks in NC while we're down there. Later on toward August, we'll probably either head to Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head.

The kicking and screaming part was left out
