In search of the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights)

---

We are off again after a summer entirely in the U.S. This time Baby Bird is accompanying us to Iceland with Bird and HP moving on to Scotland, while sending Baby Bird to Denmark. I mean could you imagine spending more than five days with a Baby Bird! (yes Monster 1&2 you are mom free during that period and owe us) We will follow this brief trip with one next summer a bit longer to Scandinavia and beyond (stay tuned for details). Our (well, at least the author's) primary goal this trip is the Northern Lights. Yes, of course, during the day additional activities are in the offing. First days are about the Reykjanes Peninsula, Golden Circle and the south, followed by a couple of days out in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and finally a day driving and Baby Bird's Blue Lagoon. This place is full of waterfalls, and we anticipate much ice about them (after all this is Iceland). The three adventurers then depart Iceland for different destinations. To tide you over we've included a photograph of the most beautiful dog in the whole wide world, who unsurprisingly is our wonderful child and also one of Kauai. The latter is for Katy. Yeah, we agree Kauai is not nearly as impressive as the first picture. Next post in a week or so from Iceland; see you then. For the uninitiated Baby Bird = Christy, Doozer = Brad, Monster 1&2 = Baby Bird and Walt's two kids (Monsters actually), and last but not least Monster 3&4 = Doozer and Erin's two kids (Obviously also Monsters).
