If you only read my blog feed or Facebook page or blog title (ye of ultra-short attention span), you were probably under the impression that, as usual, I was home last week.
Sucker!
Those who follow my Twitter feed knew that The Uncools actually took a trip West to explore this beautiful and diverse land of ours, to create memories that will last a lifetime, and to show our children what makes America the best dang country in the world without true universal health care! (Take that Bahrain … wherever the heck you are.)
So, just where did we go?
The Grand Canyon!
Rainbow Bridge National Monument!
Zion National Forest!
Las Vegas!
Virgin, Utah!
(OK – I Photoshopped that one a bit.)
It was, to quote my sarcastic Li’l Diva, an “amazing” trip that I will detail for you starting tomorrow on DadCentric and throughout next week right here. Meanwhile, allow me to tease you with the opening sentences of this postcard Excitable sent his best friend:
It reads:
“Currently we are heading back to Las Vegas but I’m going to tell you what we have done so far. First I puked in a Las Vegas airport toilet after a six hour flight. …”
Memories created; mission accomplished.

ReplyDeleteThis is becoming a habit, Unknown.
DeleteI second Unknown on this one.
DeleteCop out!
DeleteYou know, you SUCK, anonymous!!
DeleteWay to ingratiate yourself to the mass, Unknown!
Deleteaw... so young.... already puking in a Las Vegas toilet... the American spirit is alive and well!
ReplyDelete(stands at attention) "O beautiful for spacious skies ..."
DeleteLiving that American Dream. That sometimes has to start with puking in a public bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI thought that's how it usually ends.
DeleteHe's already puked in Vegas. That's the true Head Start Program!
ReplyDeleteI remember my time in Vegas and accidentally hitting on a hooker. Ah, memories.
This is story maybe you shouldn't tell me. You know, for the trail and all.
DeleteI thought what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas?
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S what was on that paper they made us sign at the airport
DeleteThis is awesome! My parents dragged us across the country (from Nashville to L.A.) when I was a kid, and it built ASSLOADS of character. I think.
ReplyDeleteAsses figure in our story, for sure.
DeleteWe've taken the kids out west three times. LOVE IT! Wasn't Zion amazing??
ReplyDeleteZion was the best. I really dug Springdale, the little town next to it that we stayed at, too. My Love, she had some issues with creepy crawlies - that tale coming soon.
DeleteBecause nothing says childhood memories like puking in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you tell her the "What happens in Vegas" rule though? Is it safe to be writing it down as evidence???
No one reads the Internet. It's all a fad.
DeleteWhat Vegas trip doesn't end in puking?
ReplyDeleteBut his started with puking. Without even the help of the Four Queens all-you-can-eat buffet.
DeleteChewa le dramamine...lifesaver to the weak of stomach, like me.
ReplyDeleteYou had me laughing, because I have gotten migraines since I was about 13 years old which ended up having me puke on every single family vacation. It used to be a running gag (no pun intended) that whenever we discussed our vacations or went back to somewhere, someone would always say, "Oh yeah, Lorie barfed there."
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have never been to Vegas, so your daughter has one up on me..... I have however barfed in Italy, Greece, and Turkey. =)
Did you get a special passport stamp to denote that?
DeleteOff the bucket list early. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThe trip look terrific too.
'Twas. I highly recommend it.
DeleteNothing like barf to cement a friendship forever.
ReplyDeleteIt's the glue of relationships. Stinky, chunky glue.
DeleteLooking forward to the creepy crawlies story! We stayed at the Desert Pearl Inn in Springdale. In the morning, the kids found a huge snail crawling along the sidewalk in front of our room. Not something we'd see at home!
ReplyDeleteIf you liked Rainbow Bridge, you should go to Arches someday.
