Sailing in Chesapeake Bay

After launching we took a few new friends from the yard sailing. Some who had never sailed, some who needed a reminder of what it was all about. We sailed north up the Chesapeake Bay taking a week or 2 on a small side Mission to Washington DC. We spent two days in the noisy city and...

H1N1

So I am supposed to be on the plane to Buenos Aires right now...obviously I'm not. We got an email around 3pm yesterday saying that the University we are supposed to go to is shutting down until August due to the Swine flu. We got a call around 7 saying they canceled our flights and won't know...

Finally in Simi

Leaving San Luis Abisbo (and the drunk "surfer dude" whose presence graced our morning), we stopped at the beach to let Ben play for a while before the long drive towards Simi. Ben decided to take an extra long nap, so we were able to complete the drive. First stop at Grandma's, then we went...

San Fran

Awakened at the Economy Inn by Benjamin's early AM routine [wake, grumble, nurse, sleep, wake, grumble, nurse, laugh, giggle, hunt for daddy]. First stop is the "Cow Hollow Playground" that I noticed on the map I pulled from the hotel's 'Pad O' Maps'. We walk the two blocks to find a wonderful...

Drive Thru Yosemite

The night was cold, but thanks to the extra sleeping bag we bought, we stayed warm. We packed up camp and headed up into Yosemite. Wow - it was so beautiful! I really wanted to stay and experience more of it. We got out in the "High Sierra" and let Ben climb around on some of The Boulders...

Day 4

We are still in Seabrook waiting on the new batteries to arrive. Jimmy arrived safely in San Antonio last night. My sister-in-law Laura picked him up at the airport. We awoke this morning and found it lonely without his presence. Hi Jimmy, we miss you!! I will catch up with the laundry and...

WE DID IT!

Today we woke in Reno, Nevada at a Motel 6. A hot shower and quiet room was exactly what we needed. Sylvia was pleased to find that "we're still making money" as she went online and caught up with the business end of things. Ben and I were exploring the stairs of the hotel and re-organizing...
