As most of you know, in 3 days I’ll be headed for a long awaited vacation to one of my favorite places in the world. . . Disneyland.While I’m hobknobing with Mickey, I thought I’d keep you entertained by having another photo contest. (translation: it’s a bribe to keep you visiting while I’m gone.)

The theme is (of course) Favorite Vacation Spot.

Here are the rules:

  • Post a photo on your blog that best represents your “Favorite Vacation Spot” by midnight on May 17th.
  • It doesn’t have to be a far away place — use your imagination! However, the photo must have been taken by you or someone in your family.
  • Include a little description of the photo and a link back to this contest.
  • Add your link to the Mr. Linky (below) before the 17th. Make sure it’s a link to your actual entry so people can find it.
  • Voting will take place from May 18th – 20th.
  • Send your readers over to vote for you via comments. They can vote once per day.
  • Winners will be announced on May 22nd (provided I make the flight home and don’t have major jetlag).
  • 1st place will win a $20 gift certificate and 2nd place will win a $10 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Both will get a cool button to display.

  8. Dana says:

    I got a question for you since you are what I consider an expert on this blog stuff!!! How do you get a post to stay at the top of all your other posts? Do you just have to go in and keep changing the date so it is a later date than your other posts? Or is there a way to put it in the code for it to always stay on top?

    Thanks!
    Dana

  9. Hey kiddo! Thought I’d play along (photo contests are so fun!!)

  19. Michelle says:

    Okay I’m in too, I wasn’t going to but I gave in, it goes with the theme of the post I suppose.

  20. I didn’t want to vote for myself so I’m voting for my better half
    Beth / Mom2twovikings

  21. I feel kind of weird voting for myself, so I’m going to vote for Dana (Sunshine) because I love the b/w composition and the whole hiking/trail aspect (hiking is therapeutic! Peaceful, at one with nature …). That picture looks good enough to frame! *smile*

    Good luck everyone! Have a GREAT weekend!!

  22. Well, since DaHubby (Mike/EyesByEar) voted for me, I’ll vote for him! LOL (How appropriate that my anti-spam word is “beach”!)

  23. Bill Bodiford says:

    I’d like to vote for Katie’s photo (katiebod #9) Thank you!

    #13 Eyes by Ear

  38. Tonya says:

    I found you again! My computer crashed and I lost all of my bookmarks. The link on my sidebar is for your old site, and Meg only had your email address. Before I could email you, the computer crashed again.

    I’ll try to email you later, but until then, thank you SO MUCH for all of the goodies you sent Drama Queen, her class and our family for the Flat Stanley project. She has talked and talked about it. I think the gifts bumped up her status in the 3rd grade scheme of things. :)

    More later.

  39. Tina says:

    #13 Please, how great!

  40. Tina says:

    #13 Eyes by Ears, Memories are sometimes all we have.

  42. GJ says:

    I love #6. indeed, grand pa and grand kids are a grand thing. Where can you find a better place to take the family.

  43. Tanya Renee says:

    I really love #13: it seems so simple and pure, and i love the splash of the fish… it is a truly touching image.

  44. Linda says:

    Vote for #1 Sunshine please

  45. Julie says:

    Sunshine (Dana)

  46. Gail says:

    I love your word verification thingie. I vote for Sunshine’s entry.

  47. Jo S. says:

    Hiking is a really special thing to me….and Dana will KILL me if I don’t vote for her – ha ha – so my vote is for her (#1).

  48. Gretchen says:

    I vote for Liza, #15.

  49. Robyn says:

    Hi, Just wanted to vote for Sunshine’s photo :)

  50. Dorothy Mills says:

    I also liked the pictures of Brandon and also his drawing.

  51. Debbie says:

    HI! I would like to vote for # 7 Beth/mom2twovikings. Thanks!

  52. My vote today is for Mike’s Eyes by Ear — excellent!

  53. Linda says:

    I would like to vote for Sunshine’s picture.

  54. Jenny says:

    # 9 –Katiebod

  55. Paula Hamilton-Stokes says:

    I vote for # 7……………awesome….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. I purposefully skipped reading over the comments because I can’t look at the results. :D

    So, once again, not wanting to vote for myself because it makes me feel … strange, I’m going to go with Jean and Grandma’s house. Why? Because there is NO PLACE like grandma’s house AND I prefer the simple vacations where there is little to no stress.

  57. Harry says:

    I vote for SUnshine.

  58. chesca silva says:

    one for Karen today .

    can i just mention Dana Sunshine’s beautiful photo?
    hi to Liza’s eyeview too. :)

  59. Dr Mark says:

    My vote is for Sunshine

  60. Sylvia says:

    It is sunshine for me too. Beautiful photo (as well as some of the others too…)

  61. JENNYV says:

    I’d like to vote for myself, JENNYV, but I see now that I have entered too late, so… I shall vote for 1. Dana (Sunshine) because her photo reminds me of more than my favorite vacation spot… it reminds me of my roots.

  62. Dorothy Mills says:

    Just wanted to place a vote for Dana (Sunshine)

  63. Tonya says:

    I vote for Kila #11 :)

  64. Dana says:

    Because I LOVE to fish and the peaceful feeling I get everytime I get in a boat, I am going to cast (no pun intended) my vote for #13 – MIke’s Eyes by Ear. I really like this picture!

  65. Julie says:

    My vote is for number 1 – SUnshine!

  66. Jo says:

    Sunshine please :)

  67. Today I’ll vote for Dana – love that photo!

  68. Robyn says:

    Can I vote for Sunshine’s photo please :)

  69. Michael says:

    This lurker votes for “Write from Karen”

    Take Care
    Michael

  70. Amy says:

    Mark down a vote for sunshine.

  71. Jemit97 says:

    I loved JennyV’s calm and serene photo. I have to say that if I had a choice after working for months and slaving away.. and then took a vacation- this is where I’d like to be- somewhere quiet and superbly beautiful.
    My vote is for JennyV

  72. Katiebod says:

    I would vote for myself…but I can’t in good conscience while Mike’s (Eyes by Ear) pic is up there…it’s stunning. Not only is the picture itself great…but the sentimentality of it really touched me. I lost my Mom to lung cancer. How neat that he has that photo to provide a wonderful memory. Great pic, Mike!

  73. chilihead says:

    I vote for #14 (Michelle at Scribbit) because her picture made me laugh all over again. It truly caught the moment.

  74. Judy says:

    I’m late… voting for #9.. Katie. St. George Island is just across the bay from our place in Florida and that is a lovely shot. I love the coast. Sigh.

  75. Another vote for DaHubby/Mike@EyesbyEar #13

  76. Debbie says:

    #7 please, Beth…thanks!

  77. smarie says:

    hi, i am voting for Liza’s Eyeview

  78. Jenn B. says:

    Have a wonderful time at Disneyland!

    I’m voting for Liza #15 :)

  79. Jackie says:

    Disneyland sounds so awesome….I would like to put in one vote for Sunshine’s photo.

  80. John S. says:

    Another vote for the cool fence picture, number 1

  81. Gail says:

    Sunshine please….it was a hard decision. There were so many good ones.

  82. Dr Mark says:

    Sunshine is warm…but Dana is HOT! So I vote 4 her pic!

  83. I think I’ll vote for Mike’s Eyes by Ears this go around. Though not a big fan of fishing, that picture is GORGEOUS!

  84. chesca silva says:

    GO SUNSHINE!!!!

  85. Kika says:

    SUNSHINE’s picture is beautiful!!! (my mom made me vote)

  86. Sylvia says:

    I also vote for Sunshine’s photo…

  87. Today I’m voting for Pass the torch. I have a few of those same type of water shots something about the mesmorizing effect of water once you slow down and get on vacation time, if you take vacations to get away from people.
    Karen I hate fishing also that is why i lug a 23# camera bag miles back in the bush and look at the purchase of a fishing license a complete was of money at least for me. My blog is going to be mostly dedicated to these types of trips especially BWCA trips since i’ve upgraded to digital photography.

  88. Jeanette says:

    My vote today is for Katie #9.

  89. Dana says:

    My vote today is for Katiebod’s. That picture is beautiful!

  90. Brandon G. says:

    I’m Sunshine’s Son and I want to vote for my mom – SUnshine.

  91. Thanks Mike! Today, I’m voting for Beth’s photo!

  92. Keith says:

    OK, I’m voting for #9–katiebod…as her hubby, I was there when it was taken. As good a pic as it turned out to b e, it was much better in person!

  93. JENNY GLOER says:

    Another vote for Katie #9

  94. sean says:

    Cool Pic KatieBod! #9 is the one!

  95. grace says:

    I vote for Sunshine’s entry (#1 on the list here). I hope to join next time!

  96. poppy fields says:

    I vote for #14, it’s too funny :)

  97. I totally forgot to enter. Story of my life this week.

    Oh well, I would not have stood a chance. Not a defeatist attitude; just realistic. Haven’t taken a good vacation in years, save for my Mom’s Time-Out trip last month, and I doubt anyone would find those photos interesting!
