Our move to Alaska confirms what most have thought of us all along...we're a bit odd. Well, our adventures here can now be told as well as adventures that played a role in getting us here. This won't be as exciting as Bilbo or Frodo's adventures, but I will try to keep anyone interested as to what we are up to.

As the Sun Pulls Away from the Shore and Our Boat Sinks Slowly in the West... Maui Part 1
This is actually from our last day in Hawaii. We had bought a boogie board, but never got to beach with waves. The beach where we were (Ka'anapali) has great snorkeling, but no waves. We saw a little kid skimming on his boogie board and decided to try it.
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble-Salem-Charles' B-Day Trip Part 3
We took a side trip up the coast to Salem, MA... yes, home of the infamous witch trials in the 17th century. But also famous for its maritime history and Nathaniel Hawthorne (House of the 7 Gables). We had beautiful weather and just wandered around. The Kids went to the presentation at the Witches Museum while Lori and I walked. She and I had seen this many years ago and felt it was a bit too creepy for us... the kids didn't think so, though.
