About Our Family

Gary and I have been married for 45 years! We have 3 adult children. Olivia and Jordan live locally and Margo lives in New York City. We will exchange for just us but would like to ask our children to come for a bit if they can get away. Gary is still very busy in private practice as a psychologist. I am winding down from 40+ years of interior design. We exchanged 4 times years ago with our young family and loved it. We love to see what life is in other places for people who live in an area, not be just tourists. We will take side trips to explore further. We enjoy gorgeous nature and outdoor activities, we love food and culture and music and art and learning.

Lifestyle

We like both city and country areas and life. We typically eat 2 meals a day when we are vacationing. When we are home, we like to be out and about by 9 and home by (usually) no later than 11. We will do some cooking and some picnics when we travel but will enjoy restaurants. We shop a bit. I love groceries and markets and Gary likes book and clothes. Our style when traveling is more like "when in Rome do what the Romans do".
