What To Do? What To Do?

So... The family and I have recently realized that with all of the kids' summer activities--camps, visits to grandparents, etc.--and both Esther and Stefan's vacation schedules, I am going to have a whole 6 weeks off work this summer. Flippin' Sweet! In talking more about it tonight, Esther suggested the idea of possibly studying abroad. (When she was younger, she took a 6-week course in France and learned French.) And I really liked the idea...

So I've been Google-ing some of the possibilities and this is what I have come up so far...

Should I study French in France? Maybe Paris, or the South coast?
Should I take cooking classes in France?
Or maybe learn more about wine?
Or should I spend that time in Italy?
...Maybe taking a photography class?
There offer Italian cooking and wine courses, too...
Or should I dust off my old Spanish skills from Marcia Darnell and head to Spain?
After all, if I study in Spain, there is a course that combines learning to scuba dive with Spanish.
Or maybe I should do some volunteer work somewhere?
Or....

What, oh what, should I do this summer?!
(I am so ecstatic to have such a "predicament"!)

If you have any ideas, suggestions, or dreams of your own that I could borrow for a summer, please let me know! I am so open-minded at this point, and I can't wait to figure something out!
