Chandler Family Vacations? -

[Scuttle456]

Is there any evidence that the Chandler family went on vacation anywhere? Hawaii? Mexico? Belle Paris? Wichita Kansas?

Or were they too poor to go anywhere beyond Charlottesville?

If they did go anywhere are there any lulzy photos?

 

[Francis York Morgan]

I think Chris mentioned going to California once to see Cole.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

Chris went to California once when he was a kid to visit Cole--as far as we're able to tell, this was his one and only time on an airplane. Other than that, he drove himself to Ohio once.

This is the big thing with vacations. Take none, and you have no life

As far as I know, they didn't travel anywhere on vacation. Although I remember Chris flying out to California one time being mentioned on the CWCki. Possibly to visit family, AKA coleslaw smithey?

Bob: ...in the Army. So, Christmas break, Christmas time, right. I didn't have anywhere to go. I decided to hitchhike.

Emily: [laughs]

Bob: Yeah. While I was in the Army, I spent nine months in New York anyway.

Emily: Yeah.

Bob: [inaudible] Fort [???] [inaudible] and I'd gone up to New York City every weekend. But, for about nine months, well I knew the place like the back of my hand.

Emily: Mm-hmm.

Chris: No wonder I was risky enough to take a- I was adventurous enough to take such a trip.

Bob: Uh-

Chris: I'd been hanging around in hi- inside him while he was taking that trip!

Counts.

In the Father call, Chris mentions how he's never been outside America (to prove what a great patriot he is over course).

 

[R.A.E.L.]

Hawaii and Paris? Don't kid yourself.

 

[fuzzypickles]

He's never said anything about travelling with his family, other than that one time to California to visit Cole. And the trip to Ohio was his trip alone and a waste of his time and money, so yeah, Chris probably hasn't traveled outside Virginia except twice in his life.

To be fair, the autistic people I know don't see the point in vacations. Vacations are taken largely to relax and see new things, and if you find routine relaxing, and don't particularly like new experiences, vacations are not exactly your cup of tea.

As for his family, my impression of his late father is that he seems the sort who would have enjoyed vacations. He liked to talk about all the places he had lived in/visited. I don't get that impression about his mother, but I am not sure, in her younger days, if she would have been totally averse to a road trip every year or two.

So as for family vacations, either they concluded (perhaps correctly) it was not something Chris would enjoy/benefit from, or Barb prevented them from happening. To that point, most of the time Chris took a trip/considered taking a trip during the trolling heydays, it seemed to really stress his parents out. So it could well be overprotection.

Hilarious when I first read it. Hilarious now.

He's never said anything about travelling with his family, other than that one time to California to visit Coleslaw. And the trip to Ohio was his trip alone and a waste of his time and money, so yeah, Chris probably hasn't traveled outside Virginia except twice in his life.

Considering Chris's life right now, a trip into even Charlottseville must seem like a vacation.

But let's not forget he dragged his Mom to the Mythbusters show in DC sometime last year. I guess that kinda counts, and Chris also went to an anime convention twice.

As a kid, I didn't really go anywhere outside of my state that often, but we still went to the beach or we went camping sometimes. Both things we had access to within our state. So, Chris could've had those sorts of trips, maybe.

Same here, but replace state with province.

 

[CatParty]

chris was with bob in korea

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN]

The B's were too old and decrepit to want to go to amusement parks and tourist traps.

Likewise, little Chris would freak out at big and noisy rides and all dem people.

 

[Francine StripeCheer]

Bob went to China at least twice a year

 

[Scuttle456]

Given Bob's intelligence/ interest in the world, one would think he would have taken little Chrissy to Washington D.C, what with it's significance in American history and it's relative proximity to Virginia. But then again, Chris was too much " in his own world" to appreciate any of it, and Barb was not mobile/smart enough to care about going to D.C?

I know they went to D.C last year for Mythbusters. Pity they didnt care about the white house, library of congress, Cherry blossoms, etc..

 

[CatParty]

You'd think he'd be curious about the White House being painted black

 

[Jackolantern]

He had a mad holiday when he went on a china quest to Ohio. That was win.
Props to Chris though. He grew a pair and went on an adventure.
