Amy [my wife] and I just had a conversation about T@P last night.
She's going on a moms trip the weekend before at Port Aransas with 2 of
her best friends.
She actually asked if I wanted to go to T@P by myself, sans wife and
small children.
My answer was HELL YEAH!!!
So yes, I am going.  I love my kids dearly, but camping with a 2 year
old is not fun any way you slice it.
Can't wait for October!
