Oooh, so pretty! I'm headed to Washington, DC next month, to see my honey and his sister/bro-in-law/niece. The niece is 2.5 years old and cute as a button.
ReplyDeleteI think we're doing a "staycation" this year, but I really really want to go back to maine!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite LeCreuset colors!
ReplyDeleteThis year won't allow for a vacation away, except for some camping trips. However, I'm saving, saving for a trip to Key West next January!
Whoops! Left out my highly anticipated visit to NYC in the fall to see friends, both old and new!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love it! Count me in! Also, tweeted @ tcita.
ReplyDeletelove the color! I'm headed to California in July for a wedding/long weekend.
ReplyDeletejust got back from Boston MA. it rained the whole time! Next up- Disneyworld in October for the Wine and Dine fest Half marathon.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from the Virgin Islands on Tuesday night, so the Caribbean blue would be perfect for me! :) Now that it's over, my next vacation is a bit more low-key: camping in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteHeading to Chesapeake Bay for our 1-year anniversary for some relaxing and crab eating! Need a break from NYC life...
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! We have a couple short getaways this summer- Las Vegas and Disneyland, and our "anniversary" trip this year is to Nebraska for my best friend's wedding. :-)
ReplyDeleteDoes moving across the country count? We're hoping that we'll get some long weekends of exploring New England and Quebec!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Maui and visit my dad. We just can't afford it, maybe soon...
ReplyDeleteHubs and I are heading to the "sugar white beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast" only 15 days from now! CANNOT WAIT!
ReplyDeleteIn June/July we are finally taking our honeymoon (8 months late). We are going to San Francisco, Napa, & Sonoma!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Spain! I'm settling for beautiful Colorado instead this summer
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to going to Hawaii later this year.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no vacation this year. But I've been wanting to see Nova Scotia for a while. That may have to be planned in a not too distant future.
ReplyDeletepilourey@hotmail.com
i'm going to niagra falls for a family reunion!
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I would spend a week in the Smokey Mountains, high up, in a cabin far away from the world. Maybe one day ...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for a chance to win this beautiful set!
Lemongrass and Kiwi are my favorite Le Creuset colors but I would really like to leisurely drive and visit historical spots along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Smokey Mountains. I have been in Asheville, NC and it is simply a teaser to all that that area has to offer, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the Swedish Visiting Cake and have passed it on to my Swedish in-laws, they are delighted.
Those really are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm living in DC but get to go visit family in Minnesota soon. There's no place like it on earth. Though I'd love a beach vacay right about now!
I love that blue! Alright, I would go to Las Vegas on the pretense of visiting my in-laws. Everyone would think I'm secretly going to party. The real truth is that I'd go for no other reason than to get myself a loaf (or four) of olive bread from this fantastic shop inside the Paris hotel/casino.
ReplyDeleteTweeted you, also :)
i would love to go to paris one day. lol
ReplyDeleteWestern Ireland with the family! We're going with a local nonprofit dedicated to educating kids and adults in Irish music, dance, language, and culture: the Blue Ridge Irish Music School--we're in the foothills of the Blue Ridge ourselves.

ReplyDeletei'm going to paris in a month, though i'm leading a class so it's only partly vacation (and my first trip to europe!).
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a pretty color bowl and whisk! Thanks for the chance to win it! I don't have a vacation planned for this year, but I want to go back and visit Hawaii again! It's so beautiful there.
ReplyDeletei would love love love to go to san fransisco. and eat a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteWe head to the beach every July. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWe are headed for a long weekend at the beach this next week but I really want to come to Asheville for a few days. My husband and I lived in Asheville for five years and I miss it!
ReplyDeleteWill have to take kids to Disney this year - my choice would be Italy.
ReplyDeletei am going to NYC at the end of may. i'm super stoked.

ReplyDeleteI would love to be visiting Spain!
ReplyDeleteMy next vacation will be to Texas to see the family in June!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose a vacation right now, I would love to visit a resort somewhere on the coast that has a grand restaurant on a cliff, overlooking a gorgeous seascape. Oh how I love to dream. It is on my bucket list, does that count. lol

I love Carribean Blue! Colorado will hopefully be my next vacation. I want to explore those mountains so badly. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWe're still deciding on a vacation for this summer...perhaps the Pacific Northwest? Or any beach, any where, would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking Mexico or Jamaica! Great giveaway, I love that color!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice giveaway! I do not have a vacation planned this year, other than going to Camp Blogaway!
ReplyDeleteI am following you on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI retweeted your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy Husband and I might go back to Mexico for a mini Anniversary trip.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to Lake Tahoe in July for a family reunion with my cooky relatives. I have been eyeing all the caribbean blue le creuset stuff, this color is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteTweeted ;)
ReplyDeleteI honestly haven't the slightest clue. We don't have a vacation in the near future... maybe vegas for my 30th next year?
ReplyDeleteWe are working discussing a road trip for the end of May. Really wanting to take the kids to the Grand Canyon! Summer plans are in the works. Love that color blue!

ReplyDeleteAnd, I follow you on Twitter and just tweeted this!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go back to Japan for another vacation. I was there back in 2004 and had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago I got together with some friends for our one year reunion for our study abroad trip to England. I don't have the money yet, but once I get a job, I'm going to have to go back to the wonderful Hotel Alexandra on Lyme-Regis beach.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I would love to visit Italy....but running a business leaves little time for an extended trip....we can dream.
ReplyDeleteWe're spending most of June in Florida with family and friends!
ReplyDeleteNext vacation...well, all those in the foreseeable future this year will involve college visits for Matt for swimming...Boston, Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, North Carolina, and a few closer to home. I guess those count as vacations. Where I would really rather vacation? France, Italy, Greece, Spain, England, Ireland...unfortunately none of those are swimming scholarship venues. Gorgeous color on the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI live in a beach town, so The Smoky Mountains would be nice! It is so beautiful up there and I haven't been in awhile.

No long vacation but, the hubby is moving across several states a few months before I am able to join him because of school. So, I'll get a little mini-vacation each time I get to go see him!:-)
ReplyDeleteI want to go back to Paris. My husband is from there and he misses home sometimes. I love the fact that the boutique lives on.. be it bakers, butchers or even candle stick makers. no warehouse stores in Paris. Buy it today eat it today :) gotta love that
ReplyDeletewe're hoping to "vacation" home to Wisconsin soon. haven't seen our families in too long!
ReplyDeletecheers,
*heather*
We just back from Kauai - got married there then honeymooned. And now we are planning a trip to Rhineland Platz in Germany (to visit family).
ReplyDeleteNo vacation this year; my wish would be the Grand Canyon since I've never been. Layoff at work and I was one of 200 affected. So now, its scrunch time.
ReplyDeleteI'm dreaming of going to Spain...
ReplyDeleteI'll be going on my honeymoon in a year to Cannon Beach, OR. Not quite Spain, but someday :)
We always go to my family's cottage on the Susquehanna River. Its the best. The boys love it. Cant wait to go!
ReplyDeleteLast year we had a staycation so this year we are heading west: Colorado, NM, AZ. Cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteAnd a friend and I to the bottom of the Blue Ridge area in June.

We don't have a vacation planned any time soon but we're hoping to go to either Orange Beach or Destin sometime this summer!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to Sarasota to join some friends for a week at the beach! It's an annual trip and the only way we get to truly relax for a few days. So looking forward to it!

Hi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been so long since I've been by- hope you and your family are all doing well, and you had lots of fun on your vacation! :) Unfortunately, I don't have plans to travel anywhere soon, but I've been dreaming of a trip to Savannah, GA. Or San Francisco, CA. Either would be amazing, and they're both on my must-see list!
Thanks for running such a fabulous giveaway- I LOVE Le Creuset! Hope to hear from you soon!
Fondly,
Joy

Well I am graduating from college in May and luckily I have a job but I have to start 2 weeks after graduation so this means no vacation for me :( But I would love to go to Disney World or Charleston, SC.
ReplyDeleteI hope to go to London for a week in June... but the real vacation will be going back home in Montreal, two months from now, after a year in Paris (yes, Paris is amazing, I love it, but still...).
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the White Mountains of New Hampshire in August!
ReplyDeleteNo vacation planned for us this year. Maybe a camping trip up to the North Shore, but we're planning on moving after the summer so we need to save money.
ReplyDeleteThanks for an awesome opportunity - such a pretty color! I'm glad you were able to enjoy a vacation recently.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to go to Hawaii in September, but the only thing officially on my schedule is a long weekend to Seattle in June to run my first marathon.
Pretty! Love the color. I don't know whether you can call it vacation, because technically, it's work, but it's the only thing I have planned. I'm going on an archaeological excavation to Syria with my professors and lots of fellow students in the summer. We will have time off, though, so I guess it still counts as vacation.
ReplyDeleteIstanbul is my dream destination this year. I hope to travel there with my sister
ReplyDeleteI love that color! I drool over it every time I go to Sur la Table. As for vacations, I really have no idea. Nothing planned. Most of our vacations that involve travel are visits to family in PA and DC. My sisters and I did a girls weekend last year, though, and hopefully will get to do it again this year, probably at the beach somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMy next vacation is a weekend away with the boys to Hilton Head....and then a weekend by myself in CT is planned in August for my BFF's hubby's birthday.
ReplyDeleteNot too exciting...but I CAN'T WAIT!

ReplyDeleteBarcelona, baby! I've been thinking Barcelona for a few years now- and will either take my 11 year old daughter and or go with my friend of 20 years.
ReplyDeletenot sure exactly where - but it would be someplace quiet near a body of water - either lake or ocean and that i could take my dogs w/ me.
ReplyDeletejacquieastemborski AT comcast DOT net
sadly, busy time starts for me now...summer is not for vacations for us okanagan folk, it is for farming and feeding all the others who vacation here. but if i could get away, Puglia Italy could easily go from vacation to life...
ReplyDeleteWe're hoping to go to Destin, FL in Sept. It'll be our first "real" vacation and the kids first trip to the beach :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are going to a center parc like thing in the northwest of Germany... Lots of fun things to do for kids.

ReplyDeleteWhen my son graduates-- in 2 1/2 years' time, we plan a cross-country train trip. We'll start in New York, stop off in Chicago, then go to Winslow, AZ to stay at La Posada and let him do his favorite activity-- photographing trains.

ReplyDeleteI used to travel a lot, teaching glass blowing around the world. But it's been a very, very long time since I had a true vacation. If I could go right this moment, I would choose Italy. I'd start in southern Italy and eat my way north :-)
