Fans of Shrinkrapped may recall that I was planning to pop the question<\/a>–make that 36 questions<\/a>–to Jonathan during our vacation. These are the questions, devised by a psychologist and popularized by Modern Love<\/a>, that supposedly foster intimacy and love. In our case, they fostered a certain amount of resistance and eye-rolling, but Jonathan was game enough to humor me through the first 11 questions during a long drive to the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n

Question #4 stood out: “What would constitute a perfect day for you?”<\/p>\n

Our answers were the same–a great hike, topped off with\u00a0a great meal.<\/p>\n

We had five hiking days in the Pyrenees, then six in the Alps on the Tour du Mont Blanc. All were great, and all were followed by great meals (OK, panna cotta instead of chocolate mousse lowered the score on a few occasions.)<\/p>\n

But all in all, so many perfect days made a perfect trip!<\/p>\n
