The Bug House Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Holy Cow!! What a great vacation!! When we left the snow was thigh deep and was all gone when we got home. Stayed with family in South Jersey (15 minutes from DE) and visited the Aquarium across the river from Philly. Once we got south the weather was stellar, a few showers here and there but 95% sunny and warm. Rented a vacation house in Orlando for a week, spent more time in the pool and hot tub than out! Took the kids to Disney, Rainforest Cafe for dinner, and of course all the good mini-golf / amusement type stuff in Kissimee. As much as I hate to fork over one red cent to that greedy mouse, it was worth it to watch my kids have such a great time. Then we spent 10 days with my Mom on the East Coast, fished almost every day, went offshore as well. Didn't catch any giants but tons of Snapper, Bluefish, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, one Mahi and a Triple Tail. We also harvested plenty of Stone Crab, needless to say we ate quite well! Aside from all the family time, the icing on the cake for me was the incedible Hog hunt I got to experience, killed a ~175lb Boar Hog to boot! I'll post some pics in the big game/exotics room. I gotta tell ya, the Europeans are on to something when they take a "Holiday" ... a week long vacation is nice, but an extended period of time off really gets you recharged and the time spent with the kids is just invaluable to me. It is however, good to be home, and Turkey season is just around the corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
