Married in 2008, they had a 10-yr vow renewal with a long-awaited “honeymoon” trip to France planned for June of 2019. COVID said otherwise, so they invested that vacation money on their beloved RV called the “Zen Den” which allowed them safe travels in the US during the pandemic. (Shared with others HERE.)
Their love of travel brought them together, something they’ve done their best to instill in the five kids they blended.
