Argentina and Antarctica - December 2015
On this trip, Finn and I traveled to our 6th and 7th continents. As a child, I had the goal of setting foot on all 7 continents and at age 46, this completed number 6 and 7. Finn, at age 12, matched the feat. Ty and Laura stayed behind with good reason due to the long travel to a cold climate. However, upon hearing our enthusiasm and seeing our pictures, they are both reconsidering. So perhaps there will be another trip to the White Continent!
