Chesapeake Bay with their children, 8 and 10 years old. Rayona visited upstate New York—and NYC for a dose of city. She has “jumped in to the deep end of stay-at-home-mom surrealism” by becoming PTA president. Last spring she was certified to teach spinning, her exercise of choice in the “ongoing battle to shed the baby fat.” She welcomes classmates to look her up in St. Michaels.
