When Mike asks for a bar mitzvah, Dave initially believes he's only in it for the party and the gifts. However, after Mike studies Hebrew and expresses true interest in Judaism, Dave and Vicky support his request to have the traditional coming-of-age ceremony. Meanwhile, Hillary also wants to be Jewish after meeting Mike's hot Hebrew tutor and Larry gains the confidence to ask out an attractive girl at school.

Dave takes the family on a trip to visit his parents in Florida because it won't cost him anything. However, Mike hates to fly, Vicky hates his parents and Hillary wants to stay in town so a boy won't forget her. The only one excited about going is Larry, who has started on a weight-loss program so he will look good in his Speedo. Things go from bad to worse when their ride to the airport cancels, Hillary's new nipple ring is discovered by security in front of a furious Vicky and Dave is searched by security. At the condo, Dave is continuously belittled by his dad, similar to the way he treats his own son Larry, and he wants to turn around and fly home minutes after arriving.
