From Moscow to Mickey – My Little Girl’s Journey to the Fort (DaveInTN and Family Spend Thanksgiving With The Fiends!)

[DaveInTN 3,247]

I thought that was the way these things were SUPPOSED to go! ;D

Seriously, this was one great report! And what a fitting way to end it... Melvin the Moose on Space Mountain! I'll bet he enjoyed getting out of storage and enjoying the rides for a change. Good for you Dave... :bravo:

Thank you Kim....freeing Melvin just warmed my heart.

[DaveInTN 3,247]

Sorry for all the individual comments. Am posting tonight on the stupid iPad and I haven't figured out the multi post on this thing.

[Roller ... aka Ed 351]

He did smell nice.

You say 'he' has a flatulence problem ... and 'he' smells nice. :rofl2:

[LORNADUCK 261]

GREAT TR Dave I have enjoyed it like I was there with you. Oh I was for some of it!!! lol. Not enought thou.

You have a knack for writing them, everyone feels like they are along for the ride. Guess that's why Melvin asked you to take him on SM.

Now on to Stoned Mtn, for another great trip. Can't wait. (I am ploting till then to get even)

[Tri-Circle-D 2,059]

Dave-

Great job!

I am shocked about the whole Melvin surprise.

I thought you were going to admit that you photoshopped your Dole Whip photos,

This Melvin being free thing was a real shock!

That my friend is an awesome deal, GOD I love amazon!

anywho, I can help with a few of those questions. We had a 20lb tank hooked up to it for 5 hours total on thanksgiving, we did two turkeys. One I did inject with a marinade and used a dry rub on the other, both were equally excellent. I was worried about the dry rub "coming" off but it stuck beautifully. The tank was still 3/4 of the way full when we were done. In fact, I'll be using that same tank for our Christmas dinner.

We are doing a prime rib in it this weekend, just recevied confirmation that DH will be home late Friday night, so Christmas is back on for the Carter household. I'll be sure to let you know how the prime rib works out :)

First, congratulations on your DH's return for Christmas.

Second, thanks for the tips on the Big Easy. I think I'm going to go for it.

Remember to let us know how the prime rib works out. I have never cooked prime rib before, but that is something that my family certainly enjoys- so it would be awesome if I could make one in that thing.

Thanks for reading Lorna! I have no doubt that you will get even somehow. Although I seem to post enough photos of myself where I look like an idiot...I can't imagine how much dumber you could make me look! LOL.

Dave-

I know...and you were there when I busted him out! Imagine the shock of those reading along from the outside. :rofl3:

[LONE-STAR 370]

Ok Dave I tried to fix my last post by adding a few words.

[Lou... 3,118]

I know...and you were there when I busted him out!

Oh, I get it. TCD was an accomplice.

Maybe I should call PETA. Anyone have their number?

People Eating Tasty Animals?? Why would you call them?? We didn't EAT Melvin, we liberated him.

[DaveInTN 3,247]

Ok Dave I tried to fix my last post by adding a few words.

LOL! You didn't have to do that. I was hilarious the first time...or else my mind is in the gutter. :rofl2:

But it is clearer now about what transpired in the garage. :popo:

Thanks Sheila!! Glad you enjoyed it.

It took me a bit but I've just finished reading all 32 pages! I love having a DaveInTN report! Your family is precious and now even more so with Anna! I'm thrilled to see her so happy and comfortable.

A few comments:

Emma totally won the dole whip contest. Hands down!

I love the TCD/Anna picture and story. He's about to lose the twins to college. If he adopts, we can have 18 more years of trip reports!

I'm going to head over to Kona Cafe ASAP and get some Tonga Toast. Yummm.

Thanks for the comments!

I agree with you on all counts. Emma's Dole Whip was clearly the biggest and had the best form. 18 more years of TCD trip reports would be awesome! And you do need to get some Tonga Toast asap.

[Nicki aka Rebelstand 272]

I don't even know where to start but I ddid catch up finally.....

[Total Joker ... TJ 203]

Thanks Heidi - I'm glad you enjoyed the report. As far as Stone Mountain...I will have to try a trip report. And maybe considering how many fiends will be there, it should be a live trip report. A live, drunken trip report. :rofl2:

That would be good for laughs.

[mouseketab.....Carol 1,261]

OK, Dave, I reread this thing from start to finish again last night. Once again it was a WONDERFUL trip report, and I LOVE all the family pics of your trip, BUT............

I call bunk on Melvin!!!! You rode Space Mountain BEFORE you went on the Free Melvin Mission!!!!!!!! You probably thought we forgot since you wrote it over several weeks!!!! GOTTCHA!!!!!
