I do not think in terms of “favorite places”…but more in terms of “favorite moments”. But, I recognize that are places that, somehow, are more prone to produce great memorable moments.

We call them “Girona Moments”

Chris’ family lives in St. Louis – so we are through there often. Love the City Museum! We’re on our way there in a couple weeks to attend Gateway Burn, the area’s regional Burning Man event. If you guys are still around, you should join us! We’ll be hosting ‘Camp Nomadia’ there and have some other awesome nomadic folks joining us.

My father calls me ‘Favorite Daughter’ all the time. Of course, I’m also the only daughter I’m sure our paths will cross at some point.

I can’t pick favorites either. I have a favorite husband, a favorite son, and a favorite daughter. Ha! Too bad I’ll miss you in STL. We’re visiting there middle July. Boo! We’ll be on the road soon enough and surely see you at a NuRVers event.

I get the same question from passengers on the ship, and my answer is invariably (and truthfully), “This one.” This is usually met with some variation of the response, “You’re just saying that for the Company’s benefit.”

*sigh*

It is difficult to convey the concepts that: a) This is me, all grown up; and b) I don’t get homesick because this (points to where my hat is hung) is my home.

As a lighting designer, I am also loathe to choose a favorite color.

We’re in Wentzville, MO for the Greater St. Louis Renaissance Faire and the City Museum is ALWAYS on our agenda when we’re in this part of the country, as well as Bailey’s Chocolate Bar and the annual Shakespeare in the Park Festival.

Thought you’d like to know!

And our answer to the question you posed is generally “where we’re going next”.

We probably asked you that too. But your explanation makes the most sense, and why we’re looking to move more. The grass is always greener, but for different things. And we have fun no matter where we are or what we’re doing. It’s no fun not to

That is generally how we answer it actually.. pretty much verbatim how I wrote this posting. Explaining why we have no one single place we love, and listing off the places mentioned here for the various reasons we love them.

In our lives, there’s really no conversation stoppers… just openings to new conversations. And that’s exactly what our response tends to do.

Perhaps a similar but more appropriately worded question would be, “What are some of the places that you’ve enjoyed the most?”

If you find that question more to your liking, then maybe you should answer the “favorite place” question as if it were asked this way. If you answer “wherever I happen to be,” well, that’s a real conversation stopper. That’s not necessarily a bad thing – sometimes that’s exactly the effect you’re going for, but otherwise, just mention some places you’ve enjoyed, and why.
