Today was the start of Dad 2.0 2017 and it was a really nice day. I got up and hung out at my cousin’s house in the morning. She let me stay there last night. I did a little work and then took an Uber over to the hotel. My room was ready already ready when I arrived and so I unpacked and got settled.

Once unpacked I went back downstairs and got registered for the Best Buy Drone excursion. We loaded up onto buses to Mission Bay where we could fly two different DJI drones: The Mavic Pro and the Phantom 4 Pro. We each got 5 minutes with each of the drones and when it was done we got a micro SD card that had recorded our flights. Both drones were so much fun to fly and they worked really well. I had never flown professional drones before, just toys. These were awesome. I have footage in today’s vlog.

After flying we went to lunch at Phil’s BBQ. There we had some chicken and ribs along with great beans and macaroni salad. Really good macaroni salad. Then it was back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, my roommate for the weekend, Derek of Dads Landing arrived and we hung out. Then we went to the opening party. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and to meet new folks as well.

A quiet day around these parts. Lot’s of catching up on sleep but I also wrote a post for a Pampers Campaign. Yes, a Pampers campaign. The kids have been out of diapers for a while now but we are talking about how our babies made us dads. I recount our lives and more and how the kids turned me into a dad. You can read that in this post My Journey to Becoming a Dad #ThanksBaby.

I also received this interesting video card from Dove Men +Care about Dad’s being Heroes as part of their #RealStrength campaign. You can watch the video on the Dove Men +Care YouTube Channel.

I also received a copy of the upcoming book from Disney called The Art of Disney Dragons. This is a beautiful hardcover book with incredible artwork of all the dragons that have been in Disney movies and cartoons.

I also received a tasty package of baked goods from Dancing Deer Baking Co. You can see more in the video and images below. Continue reading A Father’s Day Influx
