    Just one place! I don't know that I can. I love the mountains and the ocean, so I often love trips to either. I always want to go home to the Bay Area in CA, some because I love the area and probably more because I miss my kids. I would love to go to Japan to see where my Great Grandfather's family is from. I've always wanted to go to Europe; England, France, Italy and Spain. The Mediterranean also peaks my interest... I could probably travel every year for the rest of my days and not see and experience all I want to see and experience.

    9 years. We moved here from San Jose CA. I am a military brat, so I have lived many places, but lived in San Jose, Ca for about 30 years, so consider it 'home.'

    No, but I wish I could.

    Housewife/Stay at home mom.

    I would have Sarah's other leg fixed first, then I'd probably buy a home for Ben and I, pay tuition for Sarah's college and put a significant down payment on homes for each of my sons. I'd probably also put aside a fund so that they and we could travel back and forth to see one another. I'd probably have my face and arms done and be sure Ben was able to have whatever upset him repaired. I'd take my family on a vacation, not over the top, but somewhere to spend time together, maybe at the beach. I'd put some away for a rainy day.
