  • Favorite Boulder hike or walk: Mt. Sanitas has a special place in my heart because for many, many years while our kids were young, my friend group of eight twin moms pushed double strollers up this beautiful trail every Wednesday morning, rain or shine. 
  • Your Boulder beverage of choice: T|ACO has great margaritas without the sugary mixes and they carry a favorite Boulder-based brand, Suerte Tequila. Hits the spot!
  • Favorite weekend activity in Boulder: A picnic at Chautauqua, preferably when music is playing in the auditorium, throwing a frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, and enjoying each other.
  • Favorite view: Lost Gulch Overlook
  • Travel style: With an active family and busy lifestyle, a beach is always good for the soul! Rest and renewal.
