I used to ... when I was a kid. Unfortunately, most of my family is scattered across the USA and cannot get vacation time at the same time, and afford to pay travel expenses, to have a family reunion. It's sad.

Yes I've been and found out that my family was slave owners.

Yes, and I absolutely hate them...it always starts off lovely, then turns out to be an incestuous cesspool and ends up in cursing, tears, awkward silences and a nasty hangover.

My parents used to take my brother and me when we were younger...but that doesn't happen so much now....
