Yep. We're still here. If it was up to Braden and I we would have moved on weeks ago, but the girls are loving it in George Town... so we'll stay a little longer. The big event in George Town this time of year is the

After dealing with some strange allergic reactions for a couple weeks we decided it was time for a trip back to Minnesota for some doctor appointments. Just Olivia and I made the trip while Emma and Braden stayed on the boat. The Bahamas is so pretty. We had a week

Every year hundreds of boats come from all over to spend their days in George Town on the island of Great Exuma. Currently there are 300+ boats here, which means there are kids everywhere. It also means there was no way we wouldn't run into other families we

It was only a matter of time until one of us got whatever Emma had. Unfortunately it was Olivia... and just in time for her birthday. She didn't let it ruin her day though. Last year we were in Martinique for her birthday. The French may know how

We have a couple things we're waiting on (mainly all the girls Christmas presents), so we have a little more time to kill before we can start moving north. After spending a couple days in St. John we decided why not go to the British Virgin Islands for
