Halong Bay, Vietnam

We just returned from a 3-day trip to Halong Bay, Vietnam and it was incredible. We spent our first night on a "junk" boat in the middle of the Bay and last night on Cat Ba Island. We explored caves, did some trekking and biking through a national park, kayaked, ate tasty seafood of all kinds (good thing we're not picky eaters) and enjoyed the endless views of fishing villages and thousands of islands. It's no surprise that this area is also a UNESCO world heritage site. An added bonus was the wonderful people we met from all over the world.

Tonight is our last night in Hanoi, Vietnam and then we are flying to Bangkok for a night before we make the long journey home. As excited as we are to touch base at home, we would love a few more weeks (at least) to explore Asia. I suppose we will just have to come back someday...

Since my last post, a lot has happened in our household. We took our first camping trip of the year to Silver Falls State Park and survived! Cora even got to try smores for the first time. Edie turned 1 on June 4th and just a few weeks before took her first ambulance rider to the ER due to an infection - ugh! She's fine now...thankfully. We figure it's our first of many trips to the ER with two very busy little girls. (On a side note, Cora thought riding in the ambulance was really fun!) I came down with a ridiculous case of Poison Oak that was awful for about three weeks and continues to haunt me. It seems I'm quite allergic! Thankfully, no one else got it. Dave drove himself to the ER in the middle of the night for an emergency appendicectomy that ended up being (and still is) more complicated than normal because of the scar tissue left in his stomach from the car accident. That was a few weeks ago and his...
