Waiting Families

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"I would pick an RV. I was born and raised in the mountains and to give that up would be torture." - Duncan

Favorite season and why?

"I love spring. There's the mystery and suspense of wondering which flowers and bushes I've planted in previous years will return for another go around the sun. Then there's the joy of watching them burst into bloom at different times and in different colors, filling our yard with cheerful pinks, purples, and yellow, and wonderful scents. There's the hope and ancitipation involved in watching blossoms transform into the beginnings of peaches I can't wait to enjoy in late summer." - Monique

Favorite season and why?

"my favorite season is fall, because the changes of colors and is the most romantic season of the year" - Manuel Rodriguez

Favorite season and why?

"I absolutely love fall when the air starts to get crisp and the leaves change colors. I love to travel during the fall and experience different fall festivals and go apple and pumpkin picking. I love to bake and the flavors of fall are some of my favorite." - Alyssa

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"alive - I think it would be strange to have dinner with a dead person… All jokes aside - Ben Franklin - I'm a history teacher and would be fascinated to hear the stories he would tell!" - Bob
