Girls Best Friend

When we found out that Pucci got a clean bill of health from the vet, we decided to celebrate with a full-day kayaking excursion up Snow's Cut here in Wilmington. He seemed to really be comfortable on the water and soon settled into the lap of whoever he was paddling with. He's so little that any water on his coat makes him looked like a drowning rat but that only makes us love him all the more.
He also loves to ride in the truck and sit up like a person so he can look out and watch the cars go by.

Kayaking Slideshow

Our kayaking excursion to the Apostle Islands in northern Wisconsin was a blast. It was our first "family" vacation and I think it was a success. We are already planning something fun for next year. We had a great guide named Joe, who helped us overcome our fear of death and extremely cold water.

Apostle Islands

I'm about to set off on a three day kayaking excursion. Wisconsin's northernmost landscape juts out into Lake Superior as the scenic archipelago known as the Apostle Islands. The national lakeshore includes 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland Lake Superior shoreline, featuring pristine stretches of sand beach, spectacular sea caves, remnant old-growth forests, resident bald eagles and black bears, and the largest collection of lighthouses anywhere in the National Park System. Let's just hope my arms hold out...I've never actually done any kayaking before!!
