Happy July 1st!
1. Lake or beach? Well, Lake Tahoe is my favorite place, so I am going with lake.
2. Ice tea or lemonade? I really like them both, and mixed together they are really good. But nothing beats a cold glass of lemonade!
3. Favorite Summer vacation memory? We don't take many Summer vacations really as we tend to go on vacations in the colder months like our annual trip to Mexico in March or some exotic locations in the Fall. But I do remember going on an Alaskan cruise at the end of July and it was pretty amazing. It was the only cruise I have ever been on and I loved it. I did get a bit sea sick, but only if I sat close to the windows and looked out or sometimes when I worked out on the boat.
But we saw glaciers, had a crab feed, went zip lining through Alaska and saw so much wild life (bears, eagles, whales, etc.).
4. Favorite Summer destination? Close by...Lake Tahoe. Away...Hawaii.
5. Go to summer fashion item? I would have to go with sandals because I wear them every single day during the Summer.
6. Have you ever been water skiing or jet skiing? I have been both along with knee boarding and wake boarding.
7. Favorite Summer movie? There are so many...from Grease to Dazed and Confused to The Sand Lot.
8. Song that makes you think of Summer? Summer Girls by LFO. Do you remember this song? It came out in 1999. So basically it came out when I was in high school and we would listen to it on the way to Tahoe every single time.
9. Best 4th of July story? This is more of a memory than a story. I can't remember the year, but it was either in college or just after, but some friends and I rented a hotel up in South Lake Tahoe. We went to the beach all day, watched the lake fireworks and then had an incredible fancy late night dinner in one of the casinos on the top floor.
10. Are your fireworks on the 3rd, 4th or another night? They are on the 4th of July.

Arnold Palmer's are my favorite summer drink - we always have a batch made! I like the lake too - but we never seem to get to one! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI love them too. I should make them more often! We have lakes all around here, so that is why I go to them more.
DeleteI went on an Alaskan cruise too! So nice!
ReplyDeleteReally? Which places did you go to?
DeleteOh, The Sand Lot is one of my favorite summer movies, too. I adore that movie. Our kids love it, too.
ReplyDeleteMy girls haven't watched it yet. I think it is time to introduce them to it.
DeleteSo fun! I'm having so many flashbacks thinking about Summer Girls by LFO! I posted and answered on my blog today. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh I will check out your answers. I loved that song and kept singing it all Tuesday when I wrote this!
DeleteLOVE that you gave LFO a shout out, they were my first concert ever in high school. Forever swooning at your Lake Tahoe pictures <3

That is too funny. I never saw them in concert, but I know one of the band members died more recently. so sad. I loved that song. I am always swooning over them too. It is my favorite place.
DeleteSummer Girls !!! Never let you forget about Abercrombie and Fitch haha. Every time you post a picture of Tahoe I am like I HAVE TO SEE THAT IN PERSON! It just looks incredible.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I loved A&F soooo much when that song came out. It was our HS jam! You do need to see it in person. It is the most magical place!
DeleteYou know, I've always been a beach person, but lately, my heart is totally in all the lakes! I really neeeeed to visit Tahoe!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you post all the pretty lake photos. It makes me want to go to Washington and Oregon again!!! You do need to visit Tahoe. It is amazing.
DeleteI answered this same questionnaire last Wednesday. I too love these types of Q&A posts. Lake Tahoe looks amazing and I have always wanted to try an Alaskan cruise. We almost went one year with family members but just before we booked it I discovered I was pregnant and the trip was pretty close to my due date.
ReplyDeleteOh what a bummer. Hopefully you can go in the future. It is really pretty and fun. Tahoe is my favorite place and it is soooo pretty. You definitely need to visit sometime.
DeleteI've never been to a lake for summer with the beach so close, but that is a lovely lake! :) And it sounds like you've had some really fun summers! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely week! :)
