It seemed like a cute thing to call her one time, and while we post tons and tons of pics of her on social media, we thought we'd keep her actual name out of it until she was old enough to manage her own online footprint. So McLittle became her online alias. A bonus feature is that we tag all posts w/ #mclittle so that you can search by that and pull up a ton of photos and related posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I travel a decent bit so have some cool things to share. 1) Lightning hitting while playing a little Top Golf in Austin. 2) Our seats at the College World Series last year. 3) Beautiful scenery of the Cascade Mountains on a day trip in Seattle. 4) Old Stone Fort State Park in Tennessee (waterfall) Good Stuff. Sure not the "cheap seats" CWS. Got to be a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually had worse seats, but found the best thing to do was go in when the gates opened and stand behind the home plate section where they have standing room rails. From there, the actual ticket holders would often leave in the 6th and we would snag their tickets as they left and go sit down for the rest of the game. Definitely a great trip though. Anyone who loves baseball should do it at least once in their life. Tickets are pretty reasonable ($30 a game) and there's plenty to do between games or after games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a day trip from Seattle to go whale watching. Actually went all the way up into Canada to find some Humpbacks, but it was a beautiful day. Never really wanted to do an Alaskan cruise until that day. Top Golf is cool and you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy it. I've been a few times (live in Austin) and it's always fun. It is a little expensive though, so go with a group to take down the costs. Food and beverages being delivered to your bay while you play is really nice and the food is actually pretty good. I've only done once, so far, but it's epic. August provides humpbacks (and a few others), municipal storm sewers so full of spawning salmon you feel you could walk across, and worn-out (post-breeding) sea lions littering the shores. Eagles are sufficiently plentiful that cars sometimes hit them (like unto buzzards in So. Louisiana) but Alaskans provide rescue/rehab centers (unlike, as far as I know) Lousianans.

Are there options for "active" Alaskan cruises? That is extremely high on my bucket list, but I've wondered if I should do more physically demanding travel first.

Again, only the once (and it took years of breaking down resistance on the part of my far better half). I think, however (and with her newfound willingness), next time it'll be by rental car on the Alaska Ferry. Lot's of freedom that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trip through the Drake Passage is likely to be physically demanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,147 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Sadiebug, who until a few weeks ago was my middle child, and I got to have a daddy daughter day at Six Flags yesterday. She'd never been on big coasters before and handled them like a champ. We got lucky. Everyone avoided the park because of the forecast. We didn't wait over 10 minutes for any ride. We rode Batman 3 times, Mindbender twice, Superman (her favorite) 3 times, Goliath (my favorite) twice. Also the Scorcher, Acrophobia, the Great American Scream Machine, and the Cyclone, which shuts down this week. Just tall enough to ride the really scary ones. Proud of her. Not every 10 year old handles coasters well, and now she absolutely loves them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we win the lottery. In the meantime, I'll try see if I can conquer the other 3 continents I haven't been to yet first. Gotta get to at least 4, anyway.

If you decide to post anything recent, I think a focus on the former would be preferable to the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
