Look at that! It's the last day of the month, and I'm finally writing a response to my own challenge! Yeah, it's been that busy over here.
Anyways, on to my favorite vacations.
1. Switzerland: Yes this one has to come first, because it was the most amazing, peaceful, fun, interesting, memorable of all my vacations ever. I remember how excited and surprised I was when I came home from my Freshman year of college, and my parents said I couldn't so something a certain week. I asked why, and they matter-of-factly said we were going to Switzerland. It was so unexpected, but amazing. And being in that culture, being in all those small towns - all the little memories that I have from that experience still brighten my day every once in a while.
2. Hawaii: Sorry, Jason, this one came in second. This was our honeymoon destination, and it was wonderful in totally different ways than Switzerland. I think everyone in the world should go to Hawaii at least once in their life, and Jason and I plan to go at least one more time. The sand, the shockingly warm ocean water, the scuba-diving, the Polynesian Cultural center - all awesome. And of course, the company I was with was great!
3. Pinecrest/Moab/Washington D.C.: Yes, these are tied for third place. Each represents something unique and important to me. Pinecrest - aaaahhhh, camping..... And of course, moms in hairnets, bats and tennis rackets, cliff-jumper Aunt Julie, and singing the Lollipop song over and over - what could be better? Moab - red rock, hiking, being with my kids and my husband - a great escape that's not so far away. D.C. - Another place that everyone should go at least once - and stay there for at least 2 weeks so they actually see everything. A place that you can live there for 4 months, and still feel like I need to go back to.
I hope I can give my own kids great vacation memories like these.
