When she turned 40 last summer, instead of a present, Allison Hobbs said she wanted to go on trips with her husband, Thomas A. Hobbs, and their three children. "There were a bunch of things we had planned that we said we had wanted to do for years, and never did," she said.
So in August, Mr. Hobbs, who was 41 and worked at Cantor Fitzgerald as an energy trader, took his family to the Bahamas. On another excursion they went kayaking. And they went out to Flushing to take in the United States Open.
