The Results

Good morning bloggers! I was tidying up and came across the answers to the survey I gave our family with regard to our US trip this summer and thought I best not wait in posting them. (MA = moms answers, EA=Emily's, KA=Kaitlyn's & DA= Dad's)

Q. Favorite campground and why?
MA. 2 answers: Island View Resort because it's smaller, the same people go year after year and we've made connections with some, the lake is across the street, the deer come up to you & we were there with the McKellars! And second, the Oasis Las Vegas resort - not because of the parking lot 'campground' but because of the resort feel of the pool area, complete with palm trees of course.
EA. Island View Resort at Idaho - I was reunited with Jillian, a friend I made the year before.
KA. San Diego KOA (at Chula Vista) because they did cool activities. (Mom's note - they really did offer a lot. The pool, laundry, arcade games, crafts including tye dying, outdoor movie, pedal carts etc)
DA.

Q. Best place to swim?
MA. Oasis Las Vegas Resort - the pool area was gorgeous though Pend Orielle Lake (pronounced Ponderray) is always good.
EA. Las Vegas.
KA. Las Vegas.
DA.

Q. Coolest thing of nature you saw (land, water, animal etc.)?
MA. I'd have to go with Bryce Canyon with a close second being the Arches in Moab.
EA. The animals of Bearizona
KA. Bearizona
DA.

Q. When you think of that holiday, what will be the first thing you tell others?
MA. Getting caught in a thunder storm during a 6 mile walk in a valley in Utah. Being 100% drenched and wondering, with each crack of thunder, if rescuers would know to look for us there, (and if my camera would work again).
EA. The flash flood on our waterfall hike in Utah
KA. The Utah storm
DA.

Q. Was the drive too long?
MA.Some sections, yes. But we saw so many beautiful things along the way - desert, cactus, ocean, valleys, and views that included the 'peaks' of Bryce and the Grand Canyon.
EA. Kind of but I survived
KA. At some points yes.
DA.

Q. What did you like the least?
MA. The planning portion of this trip this past Feb/March. It's hard to know where to go and how long to be at each place when you've never been before and don't know others who have.
EA. Not being able to camp with McKellars for longer
KA. The long drives
DA.

Q. Where would you like to have stayed longer?
MA. That's a tough one. I can think of places I wouldn't have stayed longer at (we actually left Moab a day early - we could have stayed - there was more to see, but knew our drive the following 2 days would be VERY long so we altered our route). I will likely be the only one to say Anaheim. I would have liked to 'do' Hollywood by tour bus - the I-5 was SO busy no matter when you were on it. Aside from that, perhaps Vegas. I'd have been happy to spend more time by that pool.
EA. Las Vegas
KA. San Diego KOA & Las Vegas
DA.

Q. Where would you like to go again?
MA.If I didn't have to drive that far to get there, the Oasis Las Vegas Resort. There are so many things to do in Vegas! But as always, take me back to Island View Resort at Hope, Idaho.
EA. Las Vegas
KA. Island View Resort
DA.
