What national park do you dream of visiting?

I would love to visit all of them, but Yellowstone and Grand Teton are my first choices. I want to see my children's faces when they see the mountains for the first time! And all the wildlife that live in them, except for grizzlies, we can skip them! We feed the birds here at home so I know they would enjoy the mountain bluebirds! But just to stand before those iconic, chiseled mountains and feel so humbled by their vastness would be a true blessing. Stick our toes in Jackson Lake, bliss!

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

The kids provide an adventure for me every day! We are lucky enough to live by the forest so we can go hiking. The Smokies feel like home to me with all their resplendent waterfalls! But if I have to choose, it was the Rockies with my grandmother. She took me there and I was in awe of the mountains and the streams. She was a very devout woman, so when she told the story of how we visited The Dam Store, she put emphasis on Dam, and our family would pretend to be horrified by her "swearing";)

What would you do with $10,000?

I would take my family on an adventure...wherever they want to go! We have been ziplining in northern Wisconsin before, maybe do that again in a totally different place. See the ocean, the sequoia trees, the arches, the grand canyon. Give them a chance to explore any adventure they want and make memories that will last their whole life! Like my family did for me.
