Vacation: All I Ever Wanted*

I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING COMMENTS FOR THIS POST.

So my family was discussing our summer vacation recently (yes, we're THAT family--the annoying Brady Bunch happykins who genuinely like spending time together), and we could not agree on a destination.

I want to go to Washington, D.C., because I've never been there, and because the Smithsonian offers about a thousand hours of Nerd Heaven, and that is not even taking into account the Folger Shakespeare Institute or the Library of Congress (oh, and I guess somebody famous lives there, whatever).

My dumb sister wants to go on a cruise, because she likes being pampered and having everything her heart desires within easy reach. And she likes beaches (I have a serious problem with the ocean; you know fish POOP in that water!).

Anyway, that got me to thinking: what's YOUR dream vacation destination? Why do you want to go there? What do you see yourself doing while you're there?

As always, please remember that I do not want to be shocked by you whippersnappers, so do an old lady a favor and keep it clean.
