A little trip to the Bahamas

Well, we are back from a two week trip to the Bahamas followed by a week in Washington with the Andersen/ Anderson fam and a week with Ma and Pa Peltz.

The Bahamas was a once in a lifetime trip. We visited our friends Rob and Nadine who are teachers at a boarding school for 16 and 17 year olds from the United States on an Island called Eultheria. The school takes 70 students per semester and teaches them about sustainable living, renewable resources and encourages learning through hands on participation. Seth and I stayed on the campus and enjoyed swimming at least twice a day, snorkeling, biking, running, kayaking and spear fishing. We took a little trip on the kayaks along the very deserted coast (the southern tip of Eultheria is not populated by much besides land crabs and conch shells. Lots of sunshine, 85 degree water and great people (the other teachers at the school were great fun!) Lots of beautiful fish, Seth received one on one scuba lessons and we had our first shark experience, I spose our unborn son did too, which is what crossed my mind when I watched the creature swim underneath me!!

Visiting in WA was great, met Melissa and Gail's new pup, Rum Doodle the Poodle, very cute and full of energy. Enjoyed the warm windy weather, went on a nice hike, windy bike and beautiful boat ride. Mom and I dropped Seth at the airport in Seattle and had a whirlwind shopping trip with excellent maternity pants in the basket and a quick visit with Melissa and Gail.

Few, now to catch up on the chick weed in the garden and the out of control flower beds, one forgets how lush Anchorage is until you leave for a month and can't see you house under the hops plant.
