FWIW the weather in FL in April is about as good as it gets (for FL)...average temps in the low 80s and the high humidity hasn't kicked in yet.

For $100.00 you can take a ride in a NASCAR for 3 laps at the speedway. It was fun.

And remember, if you're water skiing and see a shark, you can jump over it the same way you would with a log, or a dead snowboarder on the side of a mountain.

Mid Oct to Mid Nov isn't 1/2 bad either down there. Same basic weather, even less crowds at the "popular" places!

Fam first even though it hurts sometimes, WF isnt going anywhere, but your son is growing and going to be moving on....hit Blizzard Beach and you'll feel like you are in the snow covered mountains, they even have a lift you can ride to the top of the slide, snocats everywhere...

I'm married with 3 kids and out of state inlaws and in-state outlaws. In fact, I'm going to NJ tomorrow for the weekend instead of spring skiing. Marriage is all about compromise. I'm sure she's compromised for you from time to time. It's quid pro quo time. Suck it up, you are earning credits for the future (or paying back the past.) In the final analysis, you have to live with them every day. "If she ain't happy, you ain't happy." (JF).
p.s., and don't get to FL and whine the whole time. feign happiness.

As opposed to a bloated skier?

How's this for some cruel irony? I was supposed to be on the road to Lake Placid as we speak and skiing with HPD, madskier and tjf67 at Whiteface tomorrow. Instead, I'm staying home since my daughter is very sick. I'm so disappointed, and now I know where HPD was coming from starting this thread. But like everyone says, family first.

Hope your little girl feels better soon, Greg. Tough decisions... family makes for many of them.
