28. I don't think I've ever had Camembert. Brie was all the rage when I was in college, but I personally didn't like it.
29. Never saw a whale. The St. Louis Zoo did have one or two African elephants, and a number of Indian elephants. The biggest animals I've seen in the wild were moose (at Yellowstone.)
30. During school breaks, I mostly worked. During the summer we often took a couple weeks to visit national parks and monuments. My father didn't like cities, and wasn't crazy about spending time with his or my mother's relatives. (When my sister and her husband moved to Tucson he was fine with spending time at her place.)
Lake of the Ozarks was a terrible collection of tourist traps even before you were born. Was that why your parents hated it? I have one fond memory of it. My parents let my brother, my sister and I take a ride in a float plane there, the first time any of us flew. I was probably six years old.
