My husband and I are doers. We love to travel, meet new people, and try new things. We recently had our first child and moved to a new state at the same time.

We are looking for couples with babies/toddlers that want to ski/snowboard, rock climb, play volleyball, bbq, swim, bike, play board games, hike, camp, and anything else that might be fun.
