Blast from the Past

Family

Back in 1966 Stan, Danny, Steve, and their adult leader, Jim backpacked a portion of the Appalachian Trail. The following year Karen did the same on a nearby portion of the trail with members of her family. On their honeymoon Stan and Elaine did a day hike on the trail. Through the years all of us have hiked on portions of the AT and other trails in the Smokies. In June the two of us joined Stan and two of his daughters for a hike commemorating the 1966 hike. Today we received a package from Stan and Elaine with photos from the original trip and the commemorative hike along with custom coffee mugs sporting those photos!  

And as a celebration of our current passion, they sent a red truck pulling a teardrop salt and pepper set!

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
