Biography
I am a 61 year old woman married with my husband Ken we have a 27 year old daughter and I have a step daughter and step son as well. And, I have 3 beautiful grandkids with the step daughter and her husband – girl age 14, boy age 12 and boy age 2. I am still working as a Sr Marketing Analyst at Thrivent Financial in downtown Minneapolis. I work from home 3x per week.
I love planning multi stop trips and look for the unusual in my planning. Hubby and I love waterfalls. Not really a hiker but do love forests and water and mountains best. Scenery always something to look for. And, we are foodies so always looking for great food and wine to try.

Memorable Travel Experience(s)
So many to choose from. One trip we flew into Boston, saw the 4th of July fireworks, rented a car and drove up thru Vermont (which was new ground at the time). We went up to Mt Washington via a cog railroad. Drove north thru parts of New Hamshire and then passed into Canada via a tiny library in Vermont. Spent time in Canada Quebec and Montreal, then back down thru New Hamshire via Amtrak to New York. Saw a Broadway show and the 911 museum - went to the top of the Freedom tower and then home. I love multi stop trips like that. Have had great trips to Sedona, Savannah, Charleston, Florida (of course), Seattle, Portland, Oregon coast and best food ever in Galveston, TX.
Got to see the Eclipse in 2017 in Nebraska. And in Missouri in 2024.
32 states before I was married, the rest in the past 30 years.
Our latest trip for my 30th anniversary with hubby was 4 days in Juneau (giving me Alaska - my 50th state) and flying from there to Hawaii. Been to Hawaii 4 times but this was my first on Big Island and staying on Maui. Alaska was my 50th
My Favorite Place On My Journey
I love the Northwest states - Oregon and Washington. The Oregon coast is possibly my favorite.
