Spent the weekend with Dave and the girls. Got some one on done time with our son and with each of our granddaughters. Did some crayon art, read stories, tickled, knitted together, cooked together, played ball, played in the autumn leaves, watched tree climbing, and more. The very best part of the weekend was seeing Peyton run to her bedroom at bedtime because she was so excited about spending her first night in a big girl bed!
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.




It was wonderful having you up to visit. Peyton is still excited about sleeping in her big girl bed and makes a nightly sprint down the hall when bedtime rolls around.
