We just arrived back in Cartagena after a whirlwind tour of the West Coast, but it was everything we hoped for!  Friends, Family, Food and Fun!  We weren't sure how the kids would respond to going home after only a few short months and then having to leave again, but it turns out that kids … Continue reading Our Time Away
