Is that the glory hole I see in the middle of Morning Glory Pool???? ……

I swear I was working on my glory hole joke as soon as I saw that picture above, and the similar mature humor of @Boother36 beat me the the punch!

A quick getaway up the coast…

In Lincoln City, OR. Didn’t expect much from this arcade, but the pinball selection is awesome. The Mandalorian is so good.

Wow, what a lineup. Also they look to be premiums and LE's with matching toppers

So do you get to play all these machines or is this a "don't touch" museum?

Play. They are mostly pretty new games. And they have a bar.

Also, some beach photos and the view from our rental.

On my way!

Venus and waxing crescent Moon at sunset. We also stayed up late to watch the Perseid meteor shower.

We spent a week in Kalispell MT
The close falls are off Lake McDonald
The trail and big lake was avalanche Lake

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Name that place!

 

[Bill_Man618]

Somewhere in Disney, but I couldn't name the hotel. At there very least its somewhere in FL

 

[Sprouty]

Earth, that looks like earth to me....


Nailed it!

Maybe @Eloe2000 or @pacmartine can get it?

I may be a middle aged man, but there is a 100% chance I am doing the water slide. Otherwise no idea where other than loosely in the central Florida or Disney area.

 

[Irish]

Sure looks like Disney, but I can't place the property. That's not saying much though, they have so many freakin resorts now its crazy. Enjoy!

 

[Bill_Man618]

Maybe Swan/Dolphin? I’ve never been to either though, but usually Disney goes all out with the hotels in terms of theming and stuff and those are the only ones that would be subtle.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

All solid guesses! I knew it was new but not how new (which in part explains why it’s a hard one to know yet). It’s the Riviera, right next to Epcot and was opened later in 2018 so with COVID really only two years old now.

 

[WedgeRock]

In air wifi.

Heading to Beantown for one last boy's weekend before Ace leaves for college.

 

[Coyote]

Just got back from 16 days in Greece with our two best friends, can’t recommend it highly enough, friendly people, spectacular food and gorgeous beaches and historic sites. We did Athens, Mykonos, Naxos (favorite), Crete and Milos (with a 5hr layover in Santorini, which was plenty).

Glad you had a good time.
Congrats for your eye and feel.
Naxos is indeed a real place. It doesn't exist just to be seen by visitors, but rather exists by itself, always supporting agriculture and livestock.
For example, you get genuine local meat there; not imported industrial antibiotics- and hormones- laden meat.

Not necessarily a vacation pic, but a cool looking pic none the less...

[Felt_Lizard]

Mount Adams, the Gap, Washington state, a week ago. - A punishing part of this all-the way- around- the-mountain-loop had no trail and required compass/map naving, dangerous water crossings, a glacier descent through an area called "Avalanche Alley"...and mountain goats.

I am the hill donkey in the first pic.

Real white mountain goats in the third pic basically centered a little high in the shot.

 

[WedgeRock]

We're flying home from Boston today. There will be plenty of pics taken today, as we're doing the freedom trail.

Ace is still sleeping and I'm enjoying a Keurig out front, getting ready to start the day. I figured I'd throw up some shots from our last two days.

First stop was Fenway. It was Ace's idea, but glad to take in another game at Fenway. Came up empty in BP. Fenway Franks are good, but overated, IMO. We saw two shots over the Monster. Sox win 8-1.

This breaks my Yankees heart.

We stayed at a B&B out in Brookline. Easy train ride in.

Ace liked Fenway so much, we went back for a tour Saturday morning. I always thought the seats on top the Monster would be shitty, but it was a pretty amazing view.

The last time I was at Fenway was before the kids were born. The wife and I sat in the bleachers. She liked that they were growing tomato plants in the bull own... They've expanded the garden a touch since then.

 

[WedgeRock]

After the Fenway tour, we headed to the Museum of Fine Art for the Monet exhibit. Alot of the collections I wanted to see were closed, but it was still great.

Callback to our trip last month to Yellowstone.

Spoiler: Ba-cawk!

(It's actually an eagle.

...and a coffin.)

Stopped for a cup of New England Clam Chowder and a lobster roll.

Then we headed over to Cambridge to pick Deuce up a shirt from MIT...his dream school.

These kids a nerd proud.

We did the duck boat tour. Well, I did the duck boat tour... Ace got in a quick nap.

I'm kicking myself for not buying this magnet to stick in the next PCF sale I make...

Spoiler: Probably SFW, but just in case

Monet was prolific.
It’s said that “of the 2000 paintings he did, 6000 of them are in the United States alone”

Picture dump from the Freedom tour...

Spoiler: BTW, I like how Massachusetts politics work...

This house at is narrowest is only 6'2" wide.

Masts of the U.S.S. Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument in the distance.

Lunch with Ace on the inner harbor.

It was a beautiful day to be on the water.

And proof that the NAGB ship exists.

Thanks, Boston (and Brookline). I had an amazing weekend with Ace.

I 'm a heretic here in Greece, belonging to an at least half-maritime culture adoring seafood; (but there is a very strong mountain meat-loving culture also, though).
As a filthy mountain villager in terms of descent, (looked down upon by most of my compatriots), I would call these dishes "sea coakroaches".
Jokes apart, happy holidays!

Looks like an awesome trip with your son. Something he’ll always remember.
