Right after graduation, I married Samuel Fisher Babbitt, an academic administrator. I spent the next ten years in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., raising our children, Christopher, Tom, and Lucy.

We went with the St. Lawrence Experience which is run by Joe Babbitt who is a close friend now. We went out there for 10 days and we had the best week of our lives and we've been going back since. We've been back three times now.
