Report from Florida

I am in the great state of Florida this weekend, visiting the Smith clan. True to the family form, we have spent the weekend eating unhealthy food (they've never met wings or cheeseburgers that they didn't like, but who knew you could get cheese and bacon on french fries?), lying on the beach and playing games. But the games have downgraded over time. We used to play Monopoly and Risk. This weekend I've played Trouble with my five year old niece twice. Pokemon Monopoly is reportedly coming out of the closet very soon. Where we used to watch adult movies, tonight's agenda includes the Swan Princess. Oh, there's still beer drinking and poker playing, but the atmosphere in the Smith household has definitely changed. My niece is awesome and definitely spunky. She takes after her aunt, if I do say so myself. I am getting tired though. Hanging out for a weekend with a five year old is good birth control. So, if anyone needs to remember why none of us have kids yet, let me know and I'll hook you up with a trip to the Smith house.
