We have been a little on the go lately. We flew back to Florida from Costa Rica five days ago, then Camden and I turned around and flew out the following day to Charlotte, and now we are back here in Florida visiting with Marc’s dad. Really good news: Marc’s excellent duct taping skills allowed our cardboard boxes…
It’s been a whirlwind the last three weeks. Especially for the five of us who are used to ‘una vida tranquila’ (a tranquil life) living here in Costa Rica. But it was a wonderful three weeks filled with family and memories and celebration. As I wrote in my last post, Marc’s parents came to visit…
How on earth have we been here for two and a half months and I can’t seem to get a blog post out on a regular basis? I think it boils down to Pura Vida, otherwise known as Carpe Diem. We have simply been enjoying living in the moment and living “tranquilo” as the Costa…
Post by Kelsey… I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit the Konesco crew for a second time this summer. I had such a blast with them in the Bahamas and I did not want to miss out on the chance to go to Costa Rica! When I first arrived I was…
Jen and I were interviewed by Erik Hemingway from Family Adventure Podcast. The interview lasts about 40 minutes and is posted on itunes (click here for link). We talked about how our dream came about, how we planned and saved, as well as some of the amazing adventures we had so far. We also shared…
We are back! The Konesco Crew arrived in Fort Pierce, Florida last Friday, June 20. Marc estimated we would arrive at 6:30 am and we sailed in at 7 am. Impressively close calculations! But let me take a few steps back to a week and a half ago… On Friday, June 13 we dropped Marc’s cousin Kelsey…
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Konesco crew aboard the Adagio. For one week, I lived on the boat and experienced what life at sea is all about. Prior to my visit, I helped build this blog and like many of you, I have been following their adventures through the great posts Jen has…
Camden turned the Big 8 yesterday. His only request for his birthday was to go deep sea fishing. No surprise there! Cam started the day by baking his cake with me and opening up presents. He got a Tervis Tumbler with the Hope Town lighthouse and fish on it.And he got this shirt which I’m sure he…
We are in Hope Town, Abacos and just can’t seem to get out of here.It’s not that the engine is broken or that the weather is keeping us locked in here. We have simply fallen in love with this town and the island. But let me take a step back. When we pulled into the…
As part of homeschooling today, I decided to interview the kids and get their feedback on living on a boat for the last 5 months. Additionally, Jen and I answered the questions. Below is a picture of their handwritten responses to work on their handwriting, and then I typed them into this blog. Camden is taking after his…
