An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Sunday, August 26, 2012. Adventures down under, over and around. Whoa where does the time go? Phew 2012 has been busy! Me, Tyler, Dad Smith, Mom Smith, Barb and Ken at the Trunk Bay lookout. Just imagine that this is 2012 and not 2011.both visits were just as much fun! Me, Mom and Dad at the Magen's Bay overlook. And yes, that is my obligatory beach (and photo op) dress. Ha! Shortly after Mom and Dad Brandt left we destroyed o...

An Island of Adventure: Sunrise, Moonset
http://anislandofadventure.blogspot.com/2013/03/sunrise-moonset.html
An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Sunday, March 31, 2013. Things have been busy, in good ways, and so a lot of sunrises and moonsets have gone by since my last post. In summary, a bunch of stuff has happened. Here's a photo-diary of the highlights:. A sunrise, moonset at our house the other day. Just to get you re-oriented to our island of adventure. After my last post and still in 2012. Not sure, maybe lobster, maybe a new sweater, maybe the cold north! Niece...

An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Friday, June 13, 2014. Our newest and greatest adventure. A freshly delivered William ("Liam") Brandt Smith. Prior to his arrival, Liam was quite the traveler. So much so he technically earned gold status on American Airlines in mom's belly! Ben, Emma, Tyler and Sharon (Mom/Gaga) on a hike during our Colorado stay. The extended Smith family in North Carolina (photo credit: Lynne Poulton). Us with the "bump" at our baby shower.

First class - yay! My birthday cake at Emerald Isle. Liam's first dunk in the waves. He garnered quite the crowd! Relaxing with Gaga. I think this was probably his favorite part of the beach. Reading" his crinkle book on the beach with Gaga and Poppy. Enjoying fine art at the Met with Ernest and Elise. The last two day...

An Island of Adventure: December 2010

An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Monday, December 20, 2010. For Thanksgiving this year we were extremely thankful to be invited by our friend Shaun to go sailing on her sailboat to the British Virgin Islands. John, Sue and Sophie Barimo came along too. John is a new faculty member at UVI but him and his family are old friends from our Miami days. John was a fellow graduate student at RSMAS and, more importantly, a fellow Wetlab bartender! St Thomas, VI. I'm a...

An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Friday, June 17, 2011. I'm falling a bit behind again but I swear I have a good excuse! The University usually has a troupe that participates in the adult parade. Besides the university-sanctioned booty shaking dancing girls (it is the Caribbean after all), UVI also has a few veteran Moko Jumbies. "Moko-whaaat? You ask. Moko Jumbies! Waiting for costumes, or at least for someone to tell us what to do. Stilts at the ready.

An Island of Adventure. Crazy stuff happens on an island, so why not share it? Tuesday, August 30, 2011. This saying has never been as true as this summer has proven. Many randomly bad things happen in life but none have ever come close to being as unfair and totally devastating as losing my brother Will to a physiological abnormality. Why do those rules exist? Why are we here? Why does all this happen? How does it happen? How does that thing exist as it is? Why not someone else? St Thomas, VI. I'm a res...

And Ashley (new graduate student). Next year I'm hoping to come i...

red house nine: Deck, Deck, Goose!
http://redhousenine.blogspot.com/2013/01/deck-deck-goose.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. Deck, Deck, Goose! Well hello. I wanted to introduce myself. My name is K and I am the author of this blog. Oh, you don't know me? Yeah, well, that's because I've been an absent blogger. My apologies, but I blame father time. He pushed the fast forward button. So, let's play catch-up, shall we? That was a pun.). We also decided on pressure treated wood instead of composite for a few reasons - the top two being cost and heat. Those composite boards get HOT in the summer in th...
