We are in Florida for the next 6 days – 3 days at Mets Spring Training in Port St Lucie and then 3 days at Disney World. I’m hoping to write a post at the end of each day, loaded with kick butt photos and all that we accomplished that day.

Right now the four of us are slowly decompressing in our hotel room after a long day of travel, laughing uncontrollably at the Republican debate. Even my 10 year old daughter understands the joke that is our presidential candidates. We’re exhausted but cannot take our eyes off of this train wreck.

We are also desperately missing our 4 month old puppy and her endless supply of puppy kisses. Luckily she is in great hands with the family that is house watching for us so we’ll make it through OK.

We plan on waking up at 6:00 AM tomorrow in order to make it to Tradition Field before the Mets players arrive for their first full team workout. My son aggressively seeking autographs and me acting like the team photographer. Fun times.

One quick story before I go to bed.

We flew out of Trenton, NJ this afternoon and upon entering the plane, the stewardess excitedly greeted me after seeing my New York Rangers hoodie. She had her hand up for the high five and I had no choice but to oblige. I had to put down both of the bags I was holding and held up the line behind me. I realized that I had to use my left hand to complete the deal based on the way I was standing. On top of that, I was a good foot taller than this woman. To say that I gave an all time awkward high five is an understatement. It was a left handed downward slap that missed the mark.

I’m still embarrassed and trying to get over it.

Good night.
