We started blogging in 2007 to document a year-long family sailing adventure. Upon returning to our home base in Portland, Oregon, in 2008, our adventures and blogging continued. Sri Lanka and Malta took center stage in 2018-2020. We were bicoastal (OR/PA) in 2020-2022, then back together in the Pacific NW until 2025, when MN was added to our location list.

Also, Drew and some of his fellow OSU/Weatherford students are preparing for a social entrepreneurship trip to Uganda in August to assist the nonprofit Terrewode, which supports women who are survivors of fistula. Click here for a video about their trip. The cute stuffed elephants pictured above, hand-made by fistula survivors, are for sale as part of their fundraising effort.
