    Weekend plans and a dissapointed son

    Sorry guys, gotta vent. My Dad and I were planning to take my 8yo son to Murrells for the weekend as a birthday present. We started the tradition last year and had a blast! Look at the forecast early in the week- 2-3 w/a SE breeze. Tell my son it's looking good. He's too excited to talk about anything else this week. He's helping me get the gear together and making new rigs. As the week progresses, the forecast gets worse- oh well, maybe no dolphin, but kings or seabass is a possibility. Then I start thinking inshore as a backup plan with the forecast calling for building seas (can't take chances in my boat). Then, yesterday, the little man comes down with the stomach bug and a fever. He's so upset and apologizes to me for ruining the fishing trip . I tell him the weather forecast stinks anyway so it doesn't matter. Fast forward to this morning...The bug is gone and so is the fever. He's accepted that the trip is off but wants to go to school for the last day- yearbook signing and last day stuff. Mom says he can't 'cuz he had a fever yesterday. The look on his face almost killed me So, I had a little talk with mom and said I don't care what the school rules say. I couldn't cancel his big weekend and his last day plans. Anyway, mom relented, and that brought a smile to his face. So, to all you that do go out this weekend...catch one for the little man and I'll be sure and post up when we do the makeup trip!
