Favorite local “Must go” places: Faith Presbyterian Church (where we are proud members), the Tallahassee Museum, the Museum of Florida History and the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab.

What are your children’s favorite meals that you cook? Buddy's smoked pork chops, couscous and spaghetti. What is your family’s favorite holiday? Christmas because of our long-standing tradition of being with extended family.
Why do you love raising your family in Tallahassee? Many of our family members are close by and that is very important to raising our children. Tallahassee is a "big small town" so you still get the strong sense of community pride while enjoying the luxuries of a bigger city. What makes your kiddos laugh? Playing chase and being silly. What would your family's dream vacation be? Any beach getaway with a boat.
