• If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Right now, I would take anywhere that it doesn't snow. I'm so fed up with this crap.
  
• What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Aruba - we went on our honeymoon and for our 2 year anniversary and just love it there.

1) Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) - I'm a bit indifferent. I will make more of a deal about it for the kids and I def will be up for take out food for a date night but otherwise don't see it as a big deal.
2) If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Hawaii or San Diego. San Diego more so because it's continental US and more reasonable for visiting friends and family.
3) What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Hawaii - toss up between Maui and Oahu

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) ambivalent too!  Usually have a fun low key family celebration.  This year headed to a Steve Songs Concert in the morning with DH & DS and then out to lunch;  DH & I will cook a special dinner on Sunday too.  We all exchange small (usually) gifts.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?  Oahu, Hawaii- if more family could come too since I love both city + beach and Honolulu combines both.
What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Loved both our Virgin Gorda Honeymoon + Family Vacation to St John

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) I really don't care about v-day. MH does not believe me so he does get me flowers, card and candy every year. I do refuse to go out for dinner because the last thing I want to do it be in an over crowded restaurant.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Anyplace that is warm! I love the heat as I type this though it is zero outside.
What is your favorite vacation you have taken? We went to Mexico a few years ago and loved it.

•Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) B and I established about a month ago that we would do gifts this year, so neither of us was disappointed. I am indifferent about it really, but I love gift giving. I got her a board game and a bottle opener/beer. We went to dinner last night, because we are not interested in going to a packed restaurant.
•If you could live anywhere, where would it be? As long as it is warm, I don't even care! Honestly, both of our families are here, so my life will be spent in the mitten.
•What is your favorite vacation you have taken? I took a girls vacay to Virginia Beach a couple years ago. The wife and I have never vacationed just the two of us anywhere, unless we were traveling to visit someone. Once this happens, I am sure that it will be the favorite.

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do): Neither. I like the idea of exchanging cards but don't need much more. We are going out to dinner (at a Casino ... only place with reservations available )
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? I would love to be someplace warm ... Southern part of the US.
What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Honeymoon in Hawaii (Maui & Kauai). We loved Maui.

This is fun!

1. I don't have feelings about Valentine's Day. I talked DH into picking up takeout from my favorite place (Zoe's Kitchen), watching a Redbox movie, and skipping presents. I tend to avoid cliches because they feel weird.

2. California, but both our families would have to move, too. I'm pretty far on the crunchy granola side and there I'd fit in instead of being the crazy person I'm considered here.

3. Belize. I actually went for work before getting pregnant with A, but it was amazing.

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do)
My sisters birthday is valentine's so growing up it was a non-event. DH and I have been in an ice arena for the evening of Valentine's every year for the last five years! The streak ends Saturday, so we are going to do a little something. We are thinking about cooking a nice dinner and grabbing cheesecake at our favorite local place for dessert.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Vancouver! We visited Vancouver last year and I fell in love. It was a wonderful city. Modern, progressive and offers both the ocean and mountains.

What is your favorite vacation you have taken?
Hong Kong all the way. We were spending time with my Dad and it was amazing.

• Are you pro/against Valentines Day?  How do you celebrate (if you do)  It isn't super important to me, but we usually do some kind of gesture. My birthday is next week so we are going out tomorrow for a combo Valentine's/Birthday/Date Night.
• If you could live anywhere, where would it be?  If I could take some of my extended family with me, Mexico. DH's whole family lives there and we don't get there often enough for DH or our kids. There's just something special about being there, anyways.
• What is your favorite vacation you have taken? I would say either our yearly trip to Mexico or when we've gone to Hawaii. Unfortunately, pre-kids the only vacations I really have taken included my mother, and she's notorious for ruining them. She always has to fight with someone about something. Post-kids, we just haven't really gotten the opportunity to vacation much, since our whole time is pretty much allocated to Mexico.

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) Ambivalent as well. We usually have a nice dinner in but no gift exchanges.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? That's a tough one but somewhere with perfect weather. Crete maybe
What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Too many but probably Alaska or Argentina

[jenn]

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) I like Valentine's Day. We get cards and this year, we each got something for the LO instead of something for each other. Ever since our first Valetine's Day together, MH has taken me out for sushi so tonight is no different. He hates sushi so it's become a once a year tradition.


If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Ditto pinkie, San Diego is where I want to retire! Love the weather, the people, the area... everything about it! Not too mention having SDCC in your backyard is pretty awesome.


What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Our honeymoon was beyond amazing. We took a river cruise on the Danube that started in Budapest and we ended up in Munich. It was something we will always remember.

[gnomesweetgnome]

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do): I'm neutral.  We celebrate it, but it's usually not a big deal. Just cards & candy.  This year we're making dinner at home, too.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?: probably either Colorado or London
What is your favorite vacation you have taken?: with DH, a toss up between Salt Lake City and San Francisco.  With family, European cruise w/ pre-trip in London.  We cruised to Amsterdam, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Helsingborg (Sweden).

Fun! I have been thinking that we need a GTKY

1. Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do) We aren't really big into the gifts of Valentine's Day. This year I am pretty busy with the baby- last year I did the 14 things I love about you- adding one each day from Feb 1 on. DH loved it- we kept going until the 28th. This year, DH is cooking- he watched a cooking show and got inspired.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? If I could bring my family, I would live in Kona, Hawaii (on the Big Island). It's beautiful and I love that it feels secluded and quiet.

What is your favorite vacation you have taken? Aside from Hawaii, Europe. I went back in high school, I wish I could go back with DH.

•Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do)
Like others I'm fairly indifferent to valentines day. This year we didn't really do anything to celebrate. A good friend of mine just separated from her husband and moved into her new house, so we spent the weekend helping with that.
•If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Here is going to be the cheesy/korny answer, but I could live anywhere as long as DH and DS were with me. I don't think that I have traveled enough to really know, but I would love to visit or be able to spend time in Newfoundland!
•What is your favorite vacation you have taken?
Probably our honeymoon to Mexico (as it as been the only all inclusive vacation I have taken). Otherwise one year we went to a beautiful provincial park called Arrow Head, and camped for a week. It was so nice with our little family.

Are you pro/against Valentines Day? How do you celebrate (if you do)

Not too into it. We might go cards/ small gift but don't make a big deal about it.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

Probably Florida. I love the warm weather and beaches and tell my Dh frequently that we will be retiring there.

What is your favorite vacation you have taken?

Favorite family vacation would be trip to Italy ( multiple cities) favorite vacation with my Dh punta Cana .
