happy 18th birthday ethel!
Everything for our new kitchen has been purchased! It should get delivered in 2 – 4 weeks… and then the fun begins. This has been hanging on our fridge since my birthday last year. Apparently it was just a year early…
Happy Birthday Braden! - Part I
One of the things I’ve really disliked in our house is the kitchen. When we bought the place we had so much other work to do that we decided to wait on redoing the kitchen. Now… its time. This is what our kitchen looks like today… This is what

Yes… it was a trip of a lifetime. Yes… it was amazing. BUT… it was not always perfect in paradise. While the majority of the trip was a dream come true, there were the sleepless nights at anchor, engine repairs, travelling through the night, spending the holidays without family… that
Its time...
We’ve been asked by several people what some of our favorite memories are from the trip. Its been difficult, but we came up with the following list… Island Erin: Sampson Cay. It was the place we stayed the longest ( 25 days total ), and probably the one we will remember
our favorite things
Last night was our final night in the Bahamas. We’re both happy and sad about going home, but we have no doubt that we will be back… probably not soon enough. To celebrate our last night we watched the sunset… We participated in a bar stool balancing contest ( the

thursday = 2 for 1 pizza day!
This was the one thing on our list of must see things that only Braden really wanted to do. Swimming into a cave just really isn’t up my alley. Today we did it… and it was awesome! Below is the entrance… above and below water. There are fish everywhere,
lazy wednesday
We went back again to visit the swimming pigs. Today there were two of them and they dined on apples ( last time it was old blueberry muffins and bread ). We’ve heard from several people that if they can stand they will try to get in the dinghy with you.

We haven’t really done much of interest in the last two days… so there hasn’t been anything to post. Today we ventured out in the dinghy to check around some of the rocks near the island for cool places to snorkel. We found one place that we are
