Q: What is the best place you have ever visited?

A: I spent 6 months living in Australia during college – what a gorgeous country. Between snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, watching the amazing surf in the Indian Ocean, and viewing the sunset at Ayers Rock – I don't know if I'll ever top it!

Q: What's your favorite restaurant and why?

A: This is a tough question for me since we have restaurants in the family, but at the risk of offending my husband, there's an amazing little breakfast spot in Laguna Beach that serves the best crab and avocado omelet.

Q: What’s your favorite movie?

A: I used to pride myself on watching lots of foreign films - I love anything with subtitles! Since my kids arrived, however, I never have enough quiet time to actually watch a movie – and I'm way too tired to watch anything serious after they go to sleep.

Q: Do you play a sport?  

A:  I used to be an avid runner – my brother and I completed the Chicago Marathon a few years ago. I recently hiked my first fourteener and look forward to more next summer!

Q: What was the last concert you went to? 

A: Aside from being a regular at the Greeley Stampede each summer, my last concert was James Blunt at the Odgen Theater in Denver. A great artist at a great venue. Even my husband – whom I had to drag there, is now a fan.

Q: Where would you go and what would you do on your "dream" vacation? 

A: My dream vacation involves my family, warm weather, and no cell phones, laptops or iPads!
