European beach behavior is so fucking wack.

Whole families of Germans changing out of their Sunday best like it's a dressing room at J.C. Penney. Drinking warm cans of orangina and eating like sardines out of a can that they packed with them. Awful shit like that.

My tulips peaked a few weeks ago, I didn't know Tulip posting was a thing we do around here.

Spent like an hour looking for Bunny at Sam's bedtime last night because Sam couldn't find it. Felt like I was executing a search warrant. Looked everywhere. I tossed the whole place. Eventually just said fuck it you're gonna have to sleep without Bunny.

This morning Sam walks downstairs and he has Bunny, just holding goddamn Bunny like it's nbd. I ask him where tf Bunny was this whole time and he just laughed and said Poopypants and ran away.

Also just very funny to me that she clearly hates Alec Baldwin and thinks he's a criminal, but also she needs him to be on her side of a political issue.

Some naughty language in that one. Careful if you work in the office.

Back from my trip. Belize was fuckin incredible! I highly highly recommend Belize.

First of all it was super easy to get to and from. Direct Delta flight from Atlanta to Belize City then hop on a 14 minute flight over to San Pedro/Ambergris Caye. The Belize City airport is small and very chill too. Nothing like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. Our resort even booked the 14 minute connecting flight tickets for us so we just showed up. They fly to San Pedro every hour I think. Could not be easier.

Another nice thing about Belize is the people are great. Just super friendly. Maybe it's total lack of a language barrier but they're even nicer than Mexicans overall I think. Everyone speaks both English and Spanish. Also everyone I met there had a great sense of a humor. Kind of a funny people. They love jokes. We spotted funny signs all over the place.

Also I really just like how unpretentious the place was. Zero Tulum-style new age chakra alignment beach yoga bullshit. Our resort, called Portofino Belize was small but really pretty. Had kind of a bed and breakfast feel to it almost. But it had a good restaurant, a bar, a pool and a dive shop and dock for excursions. Everything you need. I highly recommend this place!

The big attraction where we stayed is the Belize Barrier Reef, which is apparently the second biggest in the world. Personally I am not impressed by the size of anything underwater but we did go snorkeling twice and it was incredible. Saw all kinds of amazing shit. Sharks, stingrays, barracudas, all sorts of finding Nemo ass tropical fish. Highly recommend going there for that. Also the mainland of Belize has incredible unspoiled rainforests apparently. I want to go back and do a Jungle safari type thing so bad.

So yeah, visit Belize!

My most Dad Opinion is that it's extremely annoying how the word "turf" now means artificial turf. That is wrong and i'm big mad about it.

Turf should still mean grass. Turf is a natural living organism. Turf is grass, idiots!

Going to Belize on Sunday. Can't wait. My beach read for next week:



So far this book is incredible. I read The March of Folly by Tuchmann a few months ago so when I saw this at the thrift store I knew we were taking this Dad Lit thing into high gear.
