Engelhardt Adventures
Welcome to my travel blog! My husband Jeff and I waited six years after getting married before taking a vacation. It might have had something to do with being poor graduate students, or perhaps that we drove a 1991 Geo Metro. Anyway, we've tried to make up for it since. By the end of August 2008, he and I had been in the 48 contiguous states, as well as Hawaii. Along the way, we added Liam (2004) and Cole (2006), who had seen 47 and 46 states, respectively, by the end of October 2008. Eventually, we hope to travel outside of the United States. While we adore Canada, it barely counts as a... full info

Thanks!
It's been amazing. We've had great weather; the boys are troopers. I would do the Fjordlines trip again in a heartbeat.

Whale Photos
It is extremely hard to get a good picture of whale breaches, isn't it? I've been to Maui 3 times when the Humpbacks are down there and have only gotten 1 decent picture of a breach even though I've probably seen 15-20 breaches. You just never know when or where they will do it.
