1. What is the best part about late summer?
Fall. Um. The long days? Um. I am not really a summer fan. I liked it better when I was young, and oddly I like it better this year, but summer is often (even in Oregon) too hot for me and...oh, wait! Duh! Gencon counts. We'll go with Gencon and hope it lives up to that billing this year. ;)
2. what is your favorite memory and why?
This is a hard question since lately I am treasuring every memory I can pull up of my childhood and my parents, intensely. (And my favorite memory of them is not my memory but someone else's story about Mom, loooong before I or even Dad was in the picture!)
3. when you were small, did you realize summer vactions were not going to happen forever?
At some point I figured it out, yes. But I couldn't understand why adults didn't just take them too! I think that's part of why I fixed on 'teacher' as my possible occupation for several years, in part, along with loving the subjects. What I don't love is teaching, and especially not groups of kids! Oops. Fortunately I figured that out and majored in something I actually, you know, do enjoy doing.
4. where was your favorite summer vacation? why?
Summer vacation was usually mostly at home, with camping trips and other such jaunts. My favorite ever vacation was actually a spring break trip (drove to Texas, by way of several scenic places, to visit my grandparents; then on down through Mexico and back up). I spent part of each summer at Uncle Dick and Aunt Connie's house and I have good memories of those times, but I can't pin down just one of them since they kind of blur together in my memory now.
5. If you could have one last real summer vacation and cost was not an issue, where would you go and why?
I would go to several places, because I'm not going to take three months in one place unless it's home. This summer was a good start on that, only I'd extend the visit to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dormouse_in_tea (or make a second one), go to the Grand Canyon (not into it, sorry canyoncat, but I'm not that hardy; I'll just look down from the edge). I'd spend some time on the Oregon coast. And probably some up Seattle way. And if money was no object I'd do it all in incredibly good hotels, spoiling myself as far as food, transportation, etc. ;) 'Cause why not?
