Since Opryland is not an option, the family needs to choose between the remaining destinations: Grand Canyon, Sea World, and Disneyland. Based on the preferences in the table, the options with the most first-place votes are Grand Canyon and Sea World, each with 4 votes. Therefore, these two options will be put to a vote by majority rule. Assuming everyone votes according to their preferences, Grand Canyon would beat Sea World in this vote 6 to 3. Therefore, Grand Canyon would advance to the second round and be put to a vote against Disneyland. Based on the preferences in the table, Grand Canyon would beat Disneyland in this vote 6 to 3. Therefore, the final decision would be to go to the Grand Canyon.
