When Your Son Picks You Up From the Airport
Not sure asking our oldest son to pick us up from the airport was the brightest idea. But thanks for the ride home Mitchell ❤️

Chloe’s World
We spent a couple days with our youngest daughter Chloe who’s been in Florida for an internship with Disney’s College Program. She’s been working as a PhotoPass photographer at Epcot. While we were there she took two days off and showed us around the park. Even though we’ve been here lots of times with …
Florida & Friends
A favorite beach with some of our favorite kids! We made it to Florida and we’re so HAPPY to see our youngest daughter Chloe! A little beach time and a lot of catching up with a few of our awesome and ever-growing collection of kids we adore. —our apologies to our son Connor …
It’s the Browns!!
What an INCREDIBLE SURPRISE to be reunited with our friends Dave and Quida! We met them back in 2019 on a cruise around the South Pacific. Every day we would see them sitting around the same table with a group of their friends playing cards. That table was full of so much laughter and …
Tenerife
Our last stop before heading across the Atlantic was Tenerife–lush and buzzing with life. We wandered the streets and parks and soaked in this Spanish beauty. We came upon a group of people from a nearby retirement home out on a field-trip. Seeing them all out basking under the palms and soaking up nature until …
It’s Lia!
We found svLia! It’s always exciting to spot a friend’s boat in an anchorage or marina. In Gibraltar we spotted the beautiful catamaran “Lia”—the floating home to the awesome Flanders Family who we met back in Split, Croatia. Seeing their boat made us smile—they’re a super awesome family with some AMAZING kids. …
Monkeys & Mines
Our stop in Gibraltar yielded two important lessons: First—primates with thumbs are not a good idea. And Second— To go and only see the top of the rock and its famously impish monkeys, is to miss the real story of Gibraltar. Beneath the famous British rock there are a labyrinth of …
Waypoints
This accidental selfie perfectly encapsulates our visit to Corsica. A little moment we’d almost forgotten had it not been preserved on our phone. Our impromptu trek to this French island was a day marinating in vivid technicolors and ocean breezes perfumed with flowers and pine. On our Atlantic crossing cruise. We hoped to preview …
Perfectly Imperfect
We confess that sometimes the must-see places on popular bucket-lists aren’t always on ours. So when we told our niece Danielle we would be near Pisa but we had decided to skip seeing the famous leaning tower, we were surprised she told us we should go. She said the real experience was the strange …
Piacenza with Family
Our road trip to see family was one of the highlights of all our adventures of late. We left Rome by ship which stopped in Genoa—the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Despite finding ourselves in the coastal city of the famous seafarer, we were more excited that it was just two hours away from our …
