Not taking a vacation with my Inlaws and the rest of her family, I did that once too (it was that July trip) I have nothing against any of them But they slow me down, totally on a different time agenda

Drove a van with family members including my parents and my future wife. Let's say it didn't go well to be nice. Road trip from Heck. The moaning and groaning. To slow for me at times. Felt like I was baby sitting or running a tour service.

I'm gonna' go against the grain here because my parents went with us this past January and we had an AWESOME time.

i did the inlaw trip to wdw in 89. that was the first and last vacation with them i ever took! to hot, to much, to fast,to,to,to,they drove me up a wall and we didnt even get into s.carolina yet!!! not to mention there "plunkers".

My parents went with us on our last trip as well, and we had a great time. WE had 3 strollers, so we definitely needed the extra hands.

I'm with you. I like vacations with the family because I am forced to do things that I would not have done, the majority of which I end up enjoying.

Looks like 3 votes for extended family vacations and 3 votes against extended family vacations.

My input - DW, dds, DW's mother, and I went to visit her brother and his family on Thanksgiving in PA (outside State College). We arrived Wed night and I started drinking. We got to their house on Thursday morning, and I started drinking at 9:00 AM. We went out to breakfast Saturday morning at some Waffle shop before the drive home, and I pushed out the loudest fart while we were eating so that it would shock her into shutting up. It worked. My vote is no.

Now, DW wants to take all the above to WDW and get Treehouse or Grandvilla for all of us. The insanity .....

That… Sir… Is one mighty accomplishment.

Congratulations to your boy and we all wish him well as he embarks on an assignment that both an honor and a huge challenge. He has good reason to walk just a bit taller. As parents, we’re all overjoyed when our kids meet and surpass the challenges ahead of them, but I do believe that you must be just about to bust at the seams. Wear that new avatar with pride and thanks for letting me know exactly where I’m going to be on May 1st next year (Beaufort here I come).

I am Honored to get to use my 1000th post to Congradulate Mijo on your son's acceptence into The Blue Angels Team, This is a HUGE accomplishment the glow around you must be blinding

Maybe your son will get to do the Millville NJ date, we could have a mini Dad get together I haven't seen The Blue Angels since I was a Cub Scout at Lakehurst NB. My DS would love to see them

Once again Congratulations! And The Best Of Luck to your son on his new assignment

Good lord gentleman. I disappear for a day or two and I’m eight pages behind!

WoW a couple more posts till 1000

I just made it past the 1000 mark myself the other day LOL...It feels like a great accomplishment LOL

1000 posts! Cool!!!! I need to stop reading and start writing or I'll stay in the basement (either that or I'm just going to stop all this multi-quoting nonsense)

By the way, I head out to Baghdad this afternoon (well, my afternoon anyway), so I'll be "off the net" for a week...

See you guys on the flip side

Watch you head up in the Emerald City. Looking forward to hearing you’re back safe.

What are some other cool "Man" jobs?

- Leaving foot prints on the moon
- Discovering the wreck of the Titanic
- The classified work that Fed is doing this week
- And just about any job that isn’t mine

This is my first post to the Dis Dads thread. I'm still learning the ropes of the boards,but I've always been a Disney Freak and now I'm raising two more!

Welcome aboard. Jump on in and enjoy the mayhem (can’t possibly have enough freaks ‘round here). “Emma’s Dad” will be around to give you a proper greeting and official numeration in the near…

Guys, I am tagging along with a lot of TRs and PTRs on the DIS and one post in particular caught my eye and my heart. I wish all of you would read post #921 located in this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2482610&page=62 and see what you think. I know some of you have been willing to help in the past and I just thought this might be a really worthy cause for us to help with if possible.

I just wanted to post this again because I thought it was a touching story and I wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

Love the new Avatar there MiJo!!!

Congrats to your son.



And a few federalies to celebrate:

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Well (this has been going on a couple of pages, but…) let me chime in on the traveling with relatives issue. As I believe y’all finally agreed, it depends on the individuals involved. It helps greatly to know what you’re getting into in the first place. Those poor soles that are traveling with new and/or future relatives, will have it worst, because you’re trying to make a good impression, and they don’t really know everyone’s quirks yet.

For me, traveling with my in-laws can be a challenge as well, but I’ve been around them a long while, so I should well know by now what to expect (and I do) and I just make sure (very sure) that every plan is open ended and adjustable. Case in point: I don’t even get up out of the chair until every one of the women are up, have their pocketbooks and are already half way out the at the door. I know better and it lets them fuss at me about needing to get a move on (my attempting that in the other direction would be futile ). First rule: Know you comrades. If you don’t get along during Thanksgiving dinner, you probably won’t do that well during a full week on the road (even at WDW ).


Ok… enough of that noise. Now where is the next tangent we can catch a ride on? Any suggestions?
