Traveling South Again
We’re traveling south along the coast of North Carolina in the ICW. It’s been cold, but good! I can’t wait to get further south!
Summer in the Mitten
Our last few weeks in Michigan were packed with fun activities. Birthdays, art night, VW bus projects, and bonfires! We had such a great summer, but it’s time to wrap things up and head back south!
M22 Road Trip
We took a week-long road trip, following M22 along Michigan’s beautiful coastline. We spent time at Sleeping Bear Dunes, we hit up some breweries, we met up with family, and we even took our VW bus to a couple car shows!
Pictured Rocks
We took a quick roadtrip to the Upper Peninsula for Dad’s birthday – none of us had ever been to Pictured Rocks! We took a beautiful boat cruise to see the colorful cliffs from Lake Superior, then drove through the park to check out the various beaches and waterfalls!
July Wrap-Up
We had a full July, running the full range of activities: homemade jam, a trip to Lake Michigan, fiber art, spoon carving, a lavender farm, wineries, and of course a road trip in the VW bus!
A Week in Indiana
We drove up to Indiana to see friends and family over the 4th of July, including some epic fireworks! We had an amazing week there, and we even had time to set up our 3D printer and start some test prints! Plus, we hauled our VW bus out of storage and took her for a spin!
Home for the Summer
The final leg of our journey north was uneventful. The ICW was calm and boring, and after our last offshore trip that’s just what we needed. We saw some wildlife and did some sailing, but mostly we tucked in to our safe haven for the summer. We’re home!
Coco Bay
We’re anchored in Coco Bay on Green Turtle Cay. Our explorations are full of life – sea stars, a shark, a stingray, a plover, and…is that a mermaid I see?!
Green Turtle Cay Anniversary
We spend our anniversary exploring Green Turtle Cay, including the famous Goombay Smash at Miss Emily’s Blue Bee Bar and dinner at a locals-only restaurant tucked away on a side street. It’s a long, wonderful, hot day in the summer sun, but at the end of the day we’re treated to the Full Flower Moon lighting up the whole anchorage!
Swimming Pigs
We visit Piggyville on No Name Cay, and see the swimming pigs! However, after doing some research there’s clearly a dark side to the pig islands of the Bahamas – maybe we shouldn’t have gone?!
