Three of us Townsend Brothers took our parents to Florida for a week. The fourth brother took his wife and daughter and met us there for a couple of days as well...

It was a combination Christmas present and "forced vacation" for them. For as long as we've been alive, our parents have never really had a good vacation. When we were kids growing up, the only trips they took were to visit relatives... which sometimes meant we ended up sitting in some weird house in the middle of nowhere, with no other kids, sometimes very little electricity, no TV, very little air conditioning and little more than the aging wallpaper to entertain us.

Some trips were ok - like when we went to Lousiana (love that Cajun food!), but even then it was rarely a "real" vacation. So we took them to Florida and made no plans at all...

Is that why you needed back-up moderators?

What a great idea! Did you enjoy your time there?

We were thinking of extra moderators before anyway.

Yeah we enjoyed the trip in spite of some of the weather, even got mom and dad on some rides. Epcot has a new one called Soarin' that is pretty dang cool. Didn't ride my favorite, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror this time. They kinda messed that one up for me now that they added the up and down over and over before the final drop 13 floors.
