We totally loved our week in the nation’s capitol. Living on our boat at a marina in the Wharf District was an awesome way to visit the sites.

We passed several bald eagles on our way up the Potomac River on our boat. Washington DC here we come!

Awww…Jimmy Buffett at Red Rocks! It doesn’t get any better for a family of Parrot-heads from Colorado. This concert was a few weeks ago, but I wanted you to be energized. Turn up the sound and grab a marg!

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve backpa

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve backpacked together, thanks to shoulder surgery and Covid. This year we were determined to make it happen and our trek to the Flat Tops did not disappoint. Expansive views, mushrooms galore and pure peace & quite made it a fabulous trip.

I have to admit that we finally gave in to a few gear adjustments that our boys have been promoting. A Jet Boil and freeze dried meals were the bomb! The first night we ate Chicken Coconut Curry and the second night we had Beef Pasta Marinara and Apple Crisp. Just pour the boiling water into the bag, stir and wait. I’ll admit to packing it a bit of wine to enjoy as I prepared to dine. Camp cooking used to be my favorite part of backpacking…but I’m officially over it.

The second addition to this year’s backpacking gear was packable chairs. We bought a couple of BAP camp chairs and tied them to our packs. It felt a bit extravagant at first, but oh so comfortable after a long hike with a pack on your back.

So wonderful to be back on our sailboat…sailing!

So wonderful to be back on our sailboat…sailing! We’ve got a lot of work to do before it’s ready to take ocean sailing again.

For the past two years the goal of this Girl Scout troop was to earn their camping badge…we did it!!! We learned how to start a fire without a match, map reading, knot tying, how to set up tents in red flag wind conditions, wildflower identification, “leave no trace” principles. We even did some journaling & yoga.

Thanks to all of you who buy Girl Scout cookies each year. These are the experiences that your generosity supports.

Just finished my last virtual bread baking class for local Girl Scouts. My Junior troop wanted to earn their Simple Meals badge, so I applied for a Bake for Good grant from King Arthur Baking for some baking supplies.

The awesome people at King Arthur Baking sent me enough supplies to teach 25 Girl Scouts how to make bread! The only kicker was that they were asked to share half of what they baked with someone else as an act of kindness. Skill building and community service - two parts of an ideal Girl Scout activity!

Yay to Colorado Girls Scouts and King Arthur Baking!!

Hard-cooking eggs? Try steaming them this year. At Steamboat’s elevation, steaming for 17 minutes before plunging them into ice water makes perfectly cooked eggs. At sea level it only takes 13 minutes.
