Looking for a family

[tbarker13]

Hello,
My name is Tim Barker. I am a reporter at the Orlando Sentinel in Florida.
Please forgive this second posting on this subject, but I am still looking for a family to be included in a story that The Sentinel is doing about tourism in Orlando.
Many of you responded to my last request (and I will be talking to a lot of you), but we have now refined what we are looking for and find that we are still lacking a critical element for our story.
So here it is:
We still need a pretty-much traditional family with two or three kids (including at least one under the age of 10). We also need for that family to be coming to Orlando during the first 3 weeks of August.
During that time, we'd like to visit with you a few times (always at your convenience and while you are out having fun. We will not get in the way of your vacation.)
If this sounds like something you would be intersted in doing, please contact me and I can explain it more.

I replied to your original post and, gee, almost take offense that a single parent family is not considered "pretty-much traditional" in this day and age! I suppose you meant dogmatic mommy, daddy and 2.3 kids.

I guess Disney data might show that most guests fit into this category, but would LOVE to know what percentage of visitors is made up by single parent families, gay partners and gay families, unmarried singles, older couples and single, mature guests done rasing kids!

I am just curious to see if that traditional concept has yet been dethroned...

I fear that you have misunderstood (or perhaps I was not clear) my earlier post.
We will be talking to many different types of families for this story. But upon reviewing the earlier responses (along with those respondents' vacation dates), we felt we were missing something for our story-telling purposes.
Certainly I do not mean to offend anyone.
