Waco is an entrepreneur with a background in corporate marketing. He recently sold a business and is working on building the next one. He was a Montessori kid who later attended both public schools and a private prep school. He has B.A. in History and an M.B.A. in Marketing and Information Systems. He’s a firm believer that being a dad is the best job ever. He likes to travel (duh!) and spent 1992-1994 living out of a backpack, mostly in South and Southeast Asia.

Jette is the best daughter anyone could ever hope for. She’s been a Montessori kid since the age of two. She’s a speed reader who devours books like some kids gobble Skittles, and she’s pretty good at math and spelling too. She loves animals, especially dogs. When she’s “home” in Dallas, she volunteers almost every week at Operation Kindness, a no-kill animal shelter. Her birthday is in July, so she will have turned 10 at the beginning of Field Trip X.

An architect and vintage furniture boutique owner, Mila is an admirer of all things beautiful, unique, quirky, very new and very old. She loves the comforts of home as much as the discovery only travel can provide and she feels incredibly fortunate to have the ability to spend an entire year of togetherness with her two favorite humans, Jette and Waco.
