A Vacation Gone Wrong

   My parents, twin brother, and I took a trip to the mountains of North Carolina when I was about eight years old. This was long before the days of the internet and the abundance of travel information that is available today. We went in late August on the annual family vacation. When we got to the mountain of North Carolina it was cool. I mean it was absolutely cold at night. The lodgings that had been recommended by family friends offered a regular hotel room or a trailer. My parents opted for the trailer because you could cook your own food and being budget conscious they thought they could save a few bucks. We got settled in fairly well on the first night we were there and planned on several sites to visit and things to do.
