ten on tuesday!

As always, link up with Chelsea over at Roots and Rings for your very own Ten on Tuesday fun!


1. You’re packing for a week long vacation, do you pack ahead of time or wait until the last possible minute to pack? Last possible minute? Maybe a combo of the two -- I'll pack (or at least think about) what things I need to pack in spurts ahead of time, but most of the packing is done last-minute. I wear most of my casual clothes on a regular basis, so the non-casual clothes can get packed earlier than the casual...which will probably need to be laundered before I bring them with me.

2. Are you a light or heavy packer? Heavy. I like to have options.

3. What are your favorite road trip snacks? It's funny, as soon as I get on the road somewhere, all I want is a freakin' salad or some fruit. I think it's because I get dehydrated easily while traveling, so I want something crisp an cool. I do also enjoy corn nuts. =)

4. Do you take any reading material along? Traveling by car, not usually -- I can't read in the car. Traveling by plane? Most definitely!

5. Do you prefer to drive or fly to your vacation destination? I like both, so it really depends on how far I'm going and how much time I'm going to have when I get there!

6. What is your favorite time of the year to take your vacation? I loved vacation in the Summer in Florida, to get away from the heat, but living in cold places, I love vacationing in the Winter, to get back to that southern warmth!

7. Where is your favorite place to vacation? Anywhere, honestly. I just love traveling and being somewhere new!

8. You are vacationing in the mountains, what is your favorite thing to do while there? Can we assume I'm staying at a cabin that has a hot tub on a porch overlooking stunning mountain views? Cause that's my favorite thing. Otherwise, I do very much enjoy hiking and being out in the mountains.

9. You are at the beach for your vacation,  do you like to take it easy on the beach or play all day in the water? A combo. I love to be out on the beach and playing around, but I have very pale, sensitive skin so I have to be really careful about putting on sunscreen every two hours for the whole time I'm outside. That gets frustrating, so I usually spend about half the day out in the sun and the other half eating/drinking on a deck somewhere!

10. While your on vacation do you prefer to eat out every night or cook some of your own meals? I like cooking, but one of my favorite thing about vacations is trying out new restaurants and types of food, especially things that are local. I will say the former!
