Hobbies and Interests

When time permits, I love to travel.  Exploring new places, especially of historical significance, is my favorite past time.  I have a large family of both two legged and four legged souls.  They are the best and we like to be outside, exploring our local space, Austin is a great place to be outside.   So many interesting places to visit and local treasures abound!  Cooking is also high on the list, I find it relaxing and enjoy the time to create.  I make a mean chocolate chip cookie!
