Bob's 50!







To celebrate Bob passing the half century mark, (!) we invited some friends to join us on a Murder Mystery Cruise on Puget Sound. The theme was Gilligan's Island. Bob went as the Captain, and I was Ginger. We had a very goofy and fun time. I must say, except for the aches and pains of age, I don't feel a day over 25. Looking at that photo above however, I see that we are all a bunch of happy 'has beens'!


Liam took the photo in our house above; he tends to have a steadier arm than Ben. The boys are hard into school, and both really liking it so far.

Great Fishing Trip



I went on an overnight trip on Monday and hooked up for 10 Blue Fin Tuna. Tui made some great sushi tonight and Kong made some great Poki. Tui and I were vacuum packing until 2:00 last night and we are looking forward to a feast during Mom and Dads visit in October.

Extra Days in Glasgow

Here are a couple of shots from our last couple of days.  We have grown quite fond of the city.  Home tomorrow.


New Transportation Museum right on the riverside walk along the Clyde from our hotel which is also on the Clyde River (our room overlooks the construction behind the hotel).


Part of today's walk to the Botanic Gardens along the Kelvin River Walkway.

Final day of vacation

Tui, Nathan, and I left mom and dad in Edinbourgh this morning and took the train to London. We have a great hotel room next to the Eye. We had enough time this afternoon to walk around the city and see several of the sites beofre we leave early tomorrow morning.

Here are some pictures of the apartment...










Its still in the process of getting decorated but we all love it so far. Hope everyone is doing good.
