happy birthday olivia
For the last two years we've been on the boat for Olivia's birthday. I'm not going to lie. I felt a lot of pressure for this one. She was so excited it was her golden birthday and I did not want to disappoint her.

It was a busy couple weeks in St. Augustine. We had lots of boat projects, shopping, cleaning, organizing, family time (especially the girls who spent the last two weeks with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) and a little bit of sight seeing. As with any place we stop we

We've been wanting to take the girls to an FSU football game for years. It doesn't really make sense living in Minnesota, but it does make sense when your family lives in Jacksonville, your boat is in St. Augustine and you have friends in Tallahassee. Our

I have a lot of catching up to do... After lots of discussion we decided we would leave our boat in West Palm Beach for hurricane season. We were already there. We know the area after living there for a long time. We were all ready to get a break

With hurricane season quickly approaching it was time for us to get out of the Bahamas and back to the US for the summer months. We always put out a fishing line on the long trips, but have only caught (and released) a couple barracuda. We finally caught something worth

When we came to Nassau at the beginning of April Emma was bummed we didn't spend any time at Atlantis. To be honest, I was a little bummed too. Water parks are on my list of places I love to go. Last week we stopped back in Nassau

I have to rewind - somehow I totally forgot to post about one of our most favorite places in the Bahamas. We stopped at Warderick Wells for only a day on our way to Nassau. Their favorite part were the kayaks that were available to use whenever they wanted. The

Over the last couple weeks we've been back and forth through a couple of the small islands in the Exumas. In the Eastern Caribbean to go between islands could take days, but in the Bahamas most of the islands are within a couple hours of each other. We
