I didn’t know very much about Belize prior to going there. I can’t say that I know that much even now, but I certainly know more than I did before (LOL). It’s northern boundary borders Mexico. It’s southern and western boundaries border Gautemala. And it’s eastern side is 174 miles …

Here is our family floating down the Caves Branch River in Belize. We are each floating on our own tube except for Nathan, our 3 year old who always rode with an adult. It was BREATH TAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL and a totally AMAZING experience to be floating down this wild river …

This excursion is the reason we chose this particular cruise itinerary! Before we took our very first cruise we looked at all of the excursions at all of the ports of call for the Caribbean and came up with THREE *must do sometime in our life* activities. For numerous reasons …

Me and my hubby 60 feet under! Twenty-two years ago when we got married I would never in a million years have guessed we would ever be doing something like this. It was a BLAST! I wonder if trying new adventures like this is what some would consider a mid …

I’m not certain I “really” like this poem, but parts of it are REALLY FUNNY to me so I’m going to go ahead and post it and hope no one finds it offensive… I’m certain I will probably always be a “dependent diver.” For the record: 1. I never slept …

Last Train to Paradise – Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad That Crossed an Ocean by Les Standiford. I’ve never read anything by this author before and I have to say I REALLY enjoyed this book. It moved right along with just the right amount …

Here are a few misc pictures of the boys in Key West. We are waiting for the parasailing boat to come and dock so we can head out. I didn’t hav anywhere else to put them and there isn’t much else to say (LOL). Josh is being careful to watch …

If I had one of those fancy photo editing software programs I would have edited the photo above because I think it would be cool to have the cords stand out a little more. Nathan LOVES riding in the boat. He was excited because everyone else was excited, but that …
