Day 7 - continued Our plan was to take the dinghy over to the shore and barbeque for dinner, but nobody wanted to go out again after cleaning up from being drenched by the dinghy ride, so we went with plan B and put another movie in, "The Blind Side", and watched it with a simple quesadilla dinner. We were inspired to watch that particular movie (we had brought it with us) by a boat neighbor, Jamie. Noah had worn his completely faded but completely lov...

Day 4 continued - West End, Roatan, Honduras This morning was a work morning. It started with the outdoor shower free-flowing, which uses up the precious fresh water.

They held our flight out of Houston for about 15 minutes to make sure some last...

Top 3 Favorite Memories from Glacier (in no particular order) Abby: the active beaver pond at McDonald Creek where we saw a river otter Grinnell Lake hike - ending in the snow and seeing the river that had changed course to now go through the forest Wildflowers on the beaver pond loop - it was early in the season so the shorter ones were out - later in the season the showier, taller ones come out. Jim: Redrock Falls - amazing cas...
