I only wanted to wear dresses when I was younger. In fact, I didn't voluntarily wear pants to school until third grade- when I wanted to be able to hang upside down on the monkey bars and try the genie drop. My mom said I had to wear pants.

I have traveled to 43 states. One day I would love to go back to Hawaii and actually see a real humpback whale. I hiked a 5 hour trail in Hawaii to a gorgeous waterfall after first crossing a big river, where most tourists stopped! We only saw 3 other people on the trail!
