If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"I would choose an RV. I get sea sick so a sailboat would be no fun." - Chad

"I would choose an RV, I hope to continue to travel around the US and North America!" - Linsey

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"there are lots of parks within walking distance and we have a great elementary school near us." - Sarah

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"We live at the end of a dirt road in the country, surrounded by pasture and corn fields. It's the perfect place for a kid to be a kid – playing with animals, dirt and letting their imagination run wild." - Cassidy

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"Why don't I do this more often? ... I love to be in an area without light pollution and to be able to appreciate the vastness of the night sky. It's why I love camping and hiking." - Javier

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

Favorite season and why?

"I LOVE the fall. The weather can still be sunny and warm one day, (but not too hot), and the next day I'll need a cozy sweater. I like the unpredictibility - it lets me mix up my wardrobe. I also love hot drinks and a reason to stay inside just a little bit more." - Anjie

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"Steve Irwin, hands down" - Ian

My favorite place in the World is...

"Definitely home is where the heart is. I love being in my space and with my mom. Other special places for me are San Francisco (where I grew up), Scotland (a good friend lives here and I just love how green and beautiful it is), Mexico (I have a special love for it), and Mendocino, CA!" - Emily
