Decision Making Model

I found this decision making model to help me sort through this problem in my life. My brother Matt and I got into a fight over where we're going to go on vacation. My dad put the decision up to us to decide on our own, but we have to agree on a place together. He wanted to go to Florida and I wanted to go to California. I looked over this model to help us make a decision that both of us agree on. First, we identified the problem by basically saying we disagree on where to go. Then we the second step on the chart says to gather information, and we did. We looked up what we could do in both places and what the weather was going to be like in both places. Then we analyzed the situation and we found out that the weather wasn't suppose to hold up in California at the location we would go to, and we found more fun things for the both of us in Florida. Then we developed our options. We had two options that included going to where one of us wants this year then go where the other one wants the following year. After that, we evaluated our options. We thought since Florida weather and activites would be more reasonable for a vacation this summer, we were thinking about going there. Then we selected a preferred alternative, and we made a decsion that made us both happy; we were going to Florida. The last step of this decision making model was to act on the decision, and that's exactly what we did, and we had a good time.
