Family Dinner at The Flying Bridge in Falmouth

Last summer we went to The Flying Bridge as a family. One big family trip there. This year we were down two folks but were still a large crew. A crew that included four kids under 10 and three of them under 5. They were pretty well behaved overall. They kept, fairly clean as they ate but kids are kids and antics followed.

I think that the people around us were a mite unprepared with how much the kids love the Island Queen. They hopped up on their chairs and shouted to it and waved at the passengers. Twice. While this usually makes me want to crawl under a rock in embarrassment, I was pretty good with it this year. Plus, it makes for a fun video.

After dinner we took a walk along the harbor. We tried to get some good photos of the kids. Family photos, photos of just the kids, the kids with Auntie, the kids with Memere and Grandfather. I think I got a pretty decent one this year of the kids with their grandparents and then the kids on their own, both being silly and having good smiles.

Then we got home and there were more antics. I captured much of it on today’s vlog. Check it out.

A couple weeks back I was cruising down the PCH with my pal Chris Lewis from Dad of Divas. We had the unique opportunity to test drive five of Kelley Blue Book’s 16 top family cars of ‘16. The five that we drove were selected from that group as the top 5 Cars for Dad of 2016. This was the first ever gathering of Kelley Blue Book Dads and we had an exciting task ahead of us. We were to drive each of those five vehicles through various routes and determine which one was our own personal top pick. The cars we drove were the 2016 Subaru Outback, 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2016 Kia Optima, 2016 Toyota Sienna, and the 2016 Honda Civic. With our task laid out before us we got to work. And by work I mean a tremendous amount of fun and driving.
