Yesterday - kid's birthday party.

Today - tacky tourist trap: The Pirate Cruise on the Potomac

This is the kid version of #weekendtwitter

Next week will be the adult version of #weekendtwitter and that'll be lit

@The_Red_Hen and I go hard.

One weekend King Parents of the World - next weekend - the hottest couple on the town.

We give it everything we've got.

Work hard. Parent hard. Play hard.

Sometimes being a dad can be scary. You gotta dig deep for your kids. The boat was full and the seas were angry but the Pirate Cruise beckoned.

The captain knew how to keep us parents safe and secure however.

We endured a surprise attack which was fended off deftly by the swashbuckling kiddos.

I was terrified. So I reached for my security blanket.

The pirate babies are prepping for the next battle by covering their faces with war paint.

I hope we don’t end up like these guys.

Moral of the story:

Sometimes being a good Dad means doing dumb stuff with your kids - while smiling the whole time.
