Ever since my son graduated Stevens University with a degree in Computer Engineering with honors last May, we have asked him what does he want for a present. He kept saying a good computer, and it took him this long to decide what to build.
Since he got a job with a good software company and has already been promoted, he said he would pay for his computer. We said no, we want to give him this gift, he made us proud with his work ethics.
Today, checking my email, he booked a round trip flight for me to go to Fla and take some time to relax. I had been debating Fla or Georgia, and he decided that for my birthday in April, Fla would be a nice gift. Going to FT. Myers for a week on March 28th.

You are blessed with a good son as am I. We both know it's not just good luck. Wink

That's awesome. Great son.

My Grandmother lived in Ft. Myers. It's been a few years but I've spent some time there. Hit me up if you want some info on places to go.

Besides beaches there are some cool wildlife areas you can walk or drive through.

I've only flown in/out of Ft.Myers to get to Sanibel/Captiva, but from sunny Sanibel/Captiva, Ft.Myers always seems to have a T-storm hanging over it.

You certainly do have a good son, though! Enjoy your trip!!

Only one way it could get any better, if he could go with you. Enjoy your trip.

Indeed, fine son you have there.

But, we were hoping you'd come to Ga. Perhaps next spring. Enjoy your time in FL; you deserve it.

I come home on April 4. My wife will be heading to GA. on April 8 for a week. If I can convince my other son to take care of the ducks I will head down with her. This is a middle child who if I say it's sunny, he say's it's cloudy. Kind of like me and my dad.

I will echo what 12GA said, you obviously have a good son because of how he was raised by you. Congrats and enjoy your vacation.

If I had to guess, I'd bet the apple didn't fall far from the tree. You raised a good son and he appreciates it obviously.

Have a great trip.

Jim

You did a great job raising him. Good children don't just happen. Proud parents (I'm one) make me happy.
