- I’m on the committee to help plan the Rathdrum Days festival coming up in about 3 weeks so I’ve been attending lots of meetings for that.

TBB Asks – Vacation Edition
1. Will you go on a a summer vacation this year? No. Only weekend getaways.
2. Do nothing but relax or a pack it all in vacation? I like a mix. I enjoy sightseeing in moderation… shopping in even more moderation. I’m not big on shows, amusement parks, or other touristy activities like that. I am into lotsa relaxing!
3. What month do you like to vacation? It depends on where we’re going. If it’s a southern destination I like to go in the spring, because spring comes late in northern Idaho.
4. Cruise: YES or NO? I don’t know. I’ve never been on a cruise. I expect I would enjoy it if I had the opportunity.
5. Favorite vacation tradition? Keeping a journal on a cross-country road trip.
6. Most memorable vacation? With Kids: Probably 2006 when we went to the Grand Canyon and then took the old Route 66 over the mountains to California. Before Kids: The road trip Lyle and I took from Kansas to Pennsylvania in 1991.
7. Pack light or pack it all? I try to pack light. In regards to clothes, I usually do. But I have to take along my own pillow… and my books (though a Kindle definitely comes in handy for that)… and my crocheting… and… you know…
8. Hotel, condo or house? I don’t have a preference necessarily. Different accommodations work out well for different trips.
9. Favorite thing(s) to eat on vacation? Does coffee count? I like to try new coffee shops when we travel.
10. Warm or cold destinations. Warm, please. I get enough cold in the winter here.
