I'm Out

Well I'm going on a little vacation. I'm heading to Utah where I will be loading up with my two sisters and Mom, see pictures below. We are driving to D.C. where my sister on the right will be residing. It is going to be a rock and roll time.
But I will miss this guy...a lot. But he has to work hard for the....experience.

Now to an item of business. This is a call to all you lurkers out there. I know you're there, I have my ways of finding out. So please, please come out and introduce yourself, or if I know you, tell me that you've found my blog.
So to delurk, and even if you aren't a lurker, please leave a comment! In it, please tell me your name, or blog name, where you would like to visit on a vacation in the USA , and why(minus Hawaii, because everyone wants to go to Hawaii), and what your favorite type of dessert is. And if you're really lucky (your comment will be drawn at random), you could win a surprise from..........Washington D.C!!!!!! So please participate, it will be sooooo fun. Don't worry, I'll start, there is nothing to be afraid of.

I'm Kate, I started this blog.
I want to go to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin for a nice little weekend vacation. It is supposed to be really cute and quaint, kind of like Park City, and I want to ride in a little paddle boat across the lake.
My favorite dessert is anything baked, as in cakes, cookies, pie. Especially if it is chocolate, like a whoopee pie!

I am Liz. I am your sister and even if I haven't commented much lately, I'm still reading your blog. I want to go to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks to see the gigantic, larger than life, drive your car through trees! My favorite dessert (at the moment) is strawberry rhubarb pie. I am currently making one to give my neighbors who keep mowing my lawn. There. Do I get a prize?"

I'm Vanessa, I used to be in the married student ward with you in Provo. I want to go on a vacation to Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington because Merrick and I both grew up there originally but have never been back there together... and thanks for mentioning Lake Geneva - that's an hour away from my house here in Milwaukee so we'll have to go there! My favorite dessert is Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream from Ben and Jerry's.

Eddie and Amber said...

Hi Kate, It is Amber and Eddie from the Provo married ward. Our favorite vacation spot is anywhere with a beach. My favorite dessert is probably cheesecake or anything baked.I don't want a prize but I did want to say hi.

Paige said...

I'm Paige, BYU philosophy husbands/law school widow club member. I'd like to visit (so many places but the one I'll pick today is) Vermont during the fall for the leaves or early spring for the maple-sugaring season. I tiny desserts best - petites fours, tiny cookies, or chocolates. Or mini-cupcakes. Or...okay, you get the picture.

Hi Kate it's your cousin Brittney. I do read your blog and if you are interested my address is brittandryan.blogspot.com and currently I am trying to eat less treats so my favorite dessert is anything sweet!! and I would like to go to Texas to the giant waterpark, I think it is called Schlitterban?

Hi. I'm your sister, Mare. I want to go to somewhere in the Deep South and stay on a real live fake plantation with columns and porches and ceiling fans and air conditioning. My favorite treat is . . . mmmm, anything with sugar. And I only want your prize if it is really really stinkin' cool. Okay. So keep that in mind.

I'm Sarah, my husband is long time friend of your husband, so that makes us friends too. I want to visit Florida in the winter. Partly to see my brother, who is serving a mission there, partly to get away from the cold. I love anything that is not good for me, like cookies, cheesecake and chocolate.

Clare said...

I am Clare. We were fellow Fugal-ites freshman year and basically roommates. I want to go to a really pretty beach on the Atlantic coast in maybe South Carolina where I can play in the water and find seashells. My favorite dessert is cheesecake(usually plain but sometimes with raspberries or caramel) but I also love pie. Oh, and when you come to Lake Geneva you can keep going three more hours north and come to Gresham - that would be fun...

Violet said...

Hi Kate. My name is Violet. I recently left you a message letting you know that I have stumbled upon your blog. I love reading it- it's quite entertaining :) Unfortunately, I don't have any blogs (but I LOVE reading other people's). I live in San Diego so perfect weather and beautiful beaches are everywhere...as a result, I'd like to "vacation" here... meaning I'd like a day off from working to enjoy everything SDiego has to offer. As for my favorite dessert...I'm gonna have to go with anything with nuts! Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pecans...toss them on just about any dessert and I'll be satisfied!!

Christa and Rob said...

I'm Christa, your ex-neighbor, fellow law school widow friend from Boston. I want to go and spend at least 2 or 3 weeks in Italy in the summer...I'm picturing a little villa in a quaint town, some mopeds, and lots of fresh italian food. Favorite dessert is probably cherry rhubarb pie...but I pretty much love anything that can be classified as dessert.

I'm Meagan. I used to be in the student ward with you in Provo. We are done with the singles and back in the ward...but everyone we knew is gone... I really want to visit DC i'm jealous that you are going. My favorite dessert key lime pie.

Erin said...

Ooo...am I too late? I am Erin. I would like to go to South Dakota and see Mount Rushmore or go on a tour of the South, so I can be called ma'am...I really can't decide which I'd like more. My favorite desserts are things that involve fruit. Pies, cobbler, etc.

Have fun in DC. Call me when you get back! We'll hang.

Kalli said...

This is Kalli (Fillmore) Barker. I am your cousin, not a lurker. I guess I just haven't thought of funny things to say in your comments. I want to go to Africa, because I want to see all those cool animals that you see behind bars and sad at the zoo in their real environment and happy. My favorite dessert is Grandpa Barker's homemade mixed berry ice cream (or peach, I can't decide my favorite). Oh, and I hope I win a prize. It can be something free, but a prize. Remember when we hung out every day in American Fork? Swimming, and having egg babies.

Kalli said...

You better remember the egg babies.

I'm Margo, the Flying Nerd's mom and soon to Nana to baby Will. (Did you realize if they named him William Henry his initials would be WHO??) I would love to travel to Belize and scuba dive. I'd also love to visit Peru. My favorite dessert is peppermint ice cream with hot fudge. I love reading about your adventures. Thanks for allowing lurkers.

I'm Jana, a friend of the lunch lady. I would like to go on a vacation to any destination as long as it is without my cute kids, because then it would truly be a vacation. My favorite dessert is chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream....mmmm! Kate, your blog is very cool and always entertaining!
