Visit from Nana

Back to back with our exciting sailing adventure, we had a visit from my Mom. We took advantage of the nice weather and took a river cruise on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler, went for walks and played at the parks nearby. Bella especially enjoyed showing Nana how she could slide down the big slide all by herself!

San Juan sailing

“It’s a new level of certification, on a different type of boat”, “We need the experience” & “Bella wants to sail” – all reasons that my husband used to lure the family into another sailing trip. In September, Charles, Bella, Charlie and I spent another stellar week in the San Juan islands. When not under sail, we spent our time anchored in secluded coves and hiking atop the surrounding cliffs. Charles, Charlie and I earned our Catamaran charter certifications, and Bella enjoyed a week in close-quarters with her family.
