Magnificent Eight…Blog hopping with friends!

reposting! FYI, I’ve drawn my winner’s name…to be posted here in the next day or so. Contest is now closed, and to avoid confusion, I’m closing the comments as well!
edited/updated…I’m guest blogging today (monday) over at Bam’s.  🙂  Also…I’m out of town this weekend, so I’ll take care of my winner early next week.

Eight authors, including yours truly, have gotten together on a blog-a-thon. There will be prizes, crazy questions, and other assorted fun.

Authors involved are:

Anya Bast

Jaci Burton

Joey Hill

Mandy Roth

Megan Hart

Lauren Dane

Shiloh Walker

Patrice Michelle

Basically, what we’re doing is asking each other questions and then posing them to our blog readers.

What you do to win is visit the blogs of the participating authors, answer the questions at each blog, and viola, you entered!

My prize is going to be a signed copy of THROUGH THE VEIL, a goody bag and $10 GC to the bookstore of your choice (providing I purchase the GC online, you can pick whatever bookstore you like)

So here’s my question…If you could choose to take your SO away on a fantastic two week-long vacation to wherever you want WITH the kids (if you don’t have kids, then you’re tagging along with a friend/family member/somebody and you have babysitting duty), or stay home for a romantic weekend WITHOUT the kids, which would you choose…and why?

That’s a really tough one – considering I can choose wherever I want to go, which assumes money is not an issue, it would be hard to pass up the chance to go someplace new and exotic, even with the kids or babysitting duty. I might get cross and tired out, but I’d have the memories to take back and re-examine later. Like the Grand Canyon would be a marvelous place to visit, with kids – mule rides, etc. On the flip side, having 2-3 days at home without taking care of my furry children (we have eight), as much as I love them, is so tempting. We could sleep in, do nothing but read, watch DVR and pay attention to one another. So…sigh. Okay, despite that, I’m going to choose the two-week vacation, though I might think longingly of the other option while I’m doing it!

You know, a romantic weekend alone with my husband sounds really, really good…. Still, I’d probably opt to take the kidlet on the two week vacay. We only have one and she’s a pretty easy child (most of the time). We’d go somewhere kid-friendly, like a resort that has activities for the little ones.

I would take off with the kids and the family. I know that in the blink of an eye my boys will be out the door. I’d like them to have some amazing stories and memories to take with them on the road of life. Plus, I’m planning on changing the locks after they move out and totally “rocking” my hubby’s world 24/7. *grin*

Right now I’d choose the weekend alone with my husband because we so very rarely get any time alone together! We stock up on DVDs, snacks, good liquor and just hang out, sleep in and um, other stuff without any fear of doors flying open at inopportune moments.

I’d rather go away for a fantastic, two-week vacation with the kids. Having survived two weeks in an RV with them this summer, I’m sure I could do it again, and the memories made the hassles worthwhile.

If I have babysitting duty, how’s that a vacation? LOL! Alone time opportunities are rare, so I’d have to go with the romantic weekend.

Jaci’s blog

Jaci Burton

I’ll take the romantic weekend at home without babysitting duty or kids. Why? Well, hubby and I have already raised our kids. We’re done. And we like our time alone together, cherish every second of it. Home alone suits us just fine, and there’s always something fun to do at home. Besides, the Harley is here. 😉

Shiloh Walker

I’d take the romantic weekend, even though two frickin days isn’t much time. And why? Wellll….. three reasons, one is seven, one is nine, and the third reason is going thru the terrible twos. Need I say more? 😉

Now it’s your turn…If you could choose to take your SO away on a fantastic two week-long vacation to wherever you want WITH the kids (if you don’t have kids, then you’re tagging along with a friend/family member/somebody and you have babysitting duty), or stay home for a romantic weekend WITHOUT the kids, which would you choose…and why? Don’t forget, if you visit all the blogs and answer all the questions, you get entered into the drawing for the prizes!
