Friday Five

From RevGalBlogPals...
It is a holiday weekend here in the UK, and the weather forecast for much of the country is not good!!! But we can still dream and so with that in mind I bring you this Friday Five.

1. Getting ready for summer, do you use the gradual tanning moisturisers ( yes gentlemen you too can answer this!!!), or are you happy to show your winter skin to the world?
I used to, but these days I'm pretty content to just be me...as is.

2.Beach, mountains or chilling by the pool, what/ where is your favourite getaway?
Beaches are ok now and then...but I love the mountains!!!! The farther away from the beaten path in the mountains the better.

3.Are you a summer lover or does the long break become wearing?
I love summer in the Winter & Spring, but by the time summer actually gets here, I'm ready for fall it seems. That's not completely true...I do enjoy the summer, hiking, camping, rafting. It's just hard to love it on the scorching hot days that we had way too many of last summer.

4.Active holidays; hiking swimming sailing, or lazy days?
Mostly active, though I do enjoy reading a book/snoozing in a hammock by the river.

5.Now to the important subject of food, if you are abroad do you try the local cuisine, or do you prefer to play it safe?
I'm generally willing to give the local things a whirl. Also, it's generally better if I don't know what it is until after I've tried it.

My Bonus...
Headed anywhere this weekend (long weekend for most in the States)...
Yep! J & I are going camping, leaving tonight - sure to appreciate the summer heat a little more by the time we get home on Sunday. I'm scared to even look at the forecast for the mountains, but I suppose I should be a little responsible and have a look.

This weekend is J's traditional Memorial Day Mountain Loop - Denver to Mt Evans, then over to Grand Lake, up over Trail Ridge Road and down into Estes Park. I've never been up Mt Evans, so I'm looking forward to that, and just being out of town with J.
