My Answers:
1) What has been your favorite vacation?
So hard to choose! I loved my trip 'home' after our first son was born. We visited our alma mater, stopped by some historical sites, saw my family, and even took a trip up to the mountaintop where we got engaged! Wasn't glamorous, but the memories are awesome. Also, our honeymoon was great! Visited some deep south plantations and stayed at super cute B&Bs. Perfect!

Technically, I've had two. When I was 16 my sister took me along with her for a week in Perth, Australia. And when I was 19 my parents took us to St. Lucia for Christmas. Unfortunately, I don't have pics of either on my computer.
3) What was your worst vacation?
Um. They've all had ups and downs. I was homesick in London, ill in St. Lucia, exhausted in Australia, and I hate long drives. But they have all been blessings as well.

4) What is your craziest vacation story?
Nothing truly dramatic has come to mind. I spent a month in London doing summer school at the Globe and I tried climbing to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral in flip-flops. 1) I almost lost my shoes 3 times and 2) I'm terrified of hights and almost passed out at the top :p

5) What is your dream vacation?
Right now? A resort somewhere without the kids. Lots of lounging and swimming and fancy food. Once I get past the toddler-induced-exhaustion, I'd love to take a tour of Great Britain sometime.

6) If you could vacation with any 3 celebrities, who would you take?
Woah. That's tough. How about anyone associated with the Whedonverse. They seem like they'd be fun.

7) Who is/are your favorite people to vacation with?
My husband and his former roomates (and their respective wives). We get together every New Years and occassionally in between and they are absolutely my favorite bunch of folks. We had a great reunion in Vegas one summer (and I even got out to LA to visit some other friends)
My family are a probably a tie, but they are so far away it's hard to get together :(

8) What is the best gift that someone has brought you back from a vacation?
My dad brought me back dolls from all the countries he spent time in. I kept them all and now my daughter has them.
9) What kinds of vacations did you take as a kid?
We pretty much only went to our yearly family reunions. But I have a HUGE group of cousins and they are all amazing people so I looked forward to it every year. Don't get to see them much now and I miss them like crazy.

Great questions, having questions like these will surely measure your personality. Your photos just simply remind me of my own family vacations. We had mountain climbing, went to the beach, a dinner with my family while luminously watching the sun sets. Those were really one of the best times in my life.
