First of all, hooray for me, I finished NaBloPoMo!<\/em><\/p>\n

I have an annual tradition that I’m not so proud of. Basically, I post every day in November… and then I disappear for a couple of months. Not cool<\/strong>. So? I decided to join the Best of 2009 Blog Challenge<\/a>. Because Elisa<\/a> is doing it. And because I am a sucker for a challenge.<\/p>\n

And a glutton for punishment.<\/p>\n

The challenge? Write every day about your favorite moments from 2009. There’s a question for every day. Today’s question is, what is your favorite trip<\/strong><\/em> from 2009?<\/p>\n

First of all, I would like to say how lucky I am that I have more than one trip to choose from. And that it’s so damn hard to choose. I mean, any year where you get to spend time in NYC, Washington DC, New Orleans, France and the UK is a pretty damn good year. Not to mention my exciting trip to Denver, CO where I saw not one, but two<\/em> office parks.<\/p>\n

If you put a gun to my head and asked me to choose one trip, I would say, “Why are you putting a gun to my head and asking me that<\/em>? Why don’t you take my wallet?! Here’s my iPhone, I don’t want to die.” And then I would pee myself and tell you that, while New Orleans is always amazing, going to Talloires, France for three weeks was pretty much the bees’ knees.<\/p>\n

I mean, I got paid<\/a> to be there.<\/p>\n

We got to go paraponting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The weather was perfect.<\/p>\n

The cheese was delicious.<\/p>\n

As was the chocolate. And the wine. And pretty much everything I ate while I was there.<\/p>\n

Best. Trip. Ever.*<\/p>\n
