Winos and Beach Hoppers

Auckland Bay from One Tree Hill (not the show, an actual place!)


Kumeu River Winery


West coast black sand beaches


Wine Country

While in Auckland, we went on a wine tour (yes, we drank a bit too much). As you can see from the east to west coast, Auckland is gorgeous. Not a bad way to spend Christmas Eve, eh? (We have been hanging out with too many Canadians!)

Kaituna Rafting in NZ

On our holiday travels to New Zealand, Aaron and I went rafting on a class 5 river, and the highlight was a 7 meter waterfall!

Merry Christmas

Our Christmas wishes to all of our friends and family…
This year our wishes for the season come from across many seas and many lands, but perhaps from a little closer to home than before. One thing being far from the known does is make you aware of the things in life that are blessings. This season we are truly grateful for all our family and friends that continue to support us and wish us well through our journeys abroad. There are many reasons that brought us so far from home, but we are sure that we could not have done it without the support of all of you. So this Christmas, we celebrate you…the people in our lives that matter most, the ones that share their homes and hearts with us.
