“Dylan spending way too much time in grandpa’s swimming pool” – West Palm, FL.
Here are some photos from our 2015 trip to West Palm, Florida for our long Easter Holiday weekend. This year, as we do every year, we spent a nice restful long weekend with Julies parents at Harbor Ridge Country Club for their annual grand parents & grand kids weekend gala. This year Dylan was old enough to ride on some of the more advanced rides and even went on a long zip line with me! I have a video of that I will post later. The food and the fireworks show where the highlights for me, but I think grandpa’s swimming pool was the highlight for Dylan.

“Dylan taking on a full sized BGR Burger Joint hamburger!” – Arlington, VA.
Dylan has finally graduated from the kids slider meal at The Burger Joint to the full sized adult cheese burger! Yes I am a proud Papa! I guess it’s kind of weird that I would get excited about something like this, but my sons eating habits are something I have to deal with on a daily basis and for him to like anything other than chicken nuggets is a blessing.
Dylan’s class had a field trip today to the Kettler Capitals Iceplex to watch the Washington Capitals practice and then try some ice skating of their own. I was able to get off from work to accompany Dylan and his class for the event and also managed to snapped off a couple of photos.

Here are a couple of photos from my sons 5th birthday party. One of his presents this year from Uncle Mike was a Washington Capitals/Alex Ovechkin hockey jersey that was personally signed by NHL Great… Peter Bondra. Oh and yes… the theme this year was ‘Planes: Fire & Rescue’! Happy birthday Dylan!!

Some how Dylan talked his nanny into bringing the slot car race track upstairs this afternoon and helping him set it up. He told her that he wanted to surprise me when I got home from work and wanted to race cars with me because he was fast! It’s nice racing slot cars with your 5 year old son after work… it makes all the unpleasant work crap of the day fade away.
“Dylan and Frosty The Snowman @ ICE” – The Gaylord Hotel – National Harbor, MD.
We took Dylan to an event at The Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor this weekend called ‘ICE’. They put this ice sculpting event on every year at this time and this years theme was “Frosty The Snowman”. You can only imagine how excited Dylan was when he heard that ‘Frosty’ was going to be there this year. The ice sculptures were fantastic and I couldn’t believe how many of them there where, but one thing was for sure… is it was freakin’ cold!
This is my last post for 2104… I hope you enjoy the photos!!

This has been a fun year to be a father and to see my little man grow. He has learned to communicate, to reason and to ask questions that sometimes I have to think twice about answering. He has become a world traveler and brought both tears of joy and frustration to my eyes. But no matter what has happened or what the future holds for he and I… I wouldn’t change a thing!! This is a small collection of photos taken over this past year of my totally awesome and handsome son… Dylan!

12/20/2014 – “Dinosaurs Live at the DC Armory” – Washington, DC
When my son gets something into his head, there is no way you are going to get around it. Dylan saw a advertisement on television last week for something called ‘Dinosaurs Live’ and told us that we had to go see the live dinosaurs. I tried to explain to him that the dinosaurs where not real, but he corrected me and said “but look dad, they move!” So as a Saturday afternoon excursion to humor my son, we drove down to the DC Armory for the show. Dylan thought it was great and had a ton of fun… I think we saw the entire exhibit at least twice! Here is a home movie from the show… enjoy!
Today we took Dylan downtown to the DC National Armory for a weekend event featuring… yep, you guessed it, Dinosaurs!! Dylan saw a commercial for the event on television and told us that we had to go. He made it sound like it was a life or death situation… “Dad, there are live dinosaurs there!!” Well we caved in like most parents do and headed down to see what all the fuss was about. I have to admit, it was fun and the robotic dinosaurs were as real as I would ever want them to be, but the lines for the bouncy rides/houses where unreal! Dylan had the most fun out of all of us, but next time I think I will skip work and take him in the middle of the day to avoid the lines.
