Fun time with the kids today. Went off to REI this morning with my brother-in-law, and my niece found the perfect backpack for my upcoming trip. Then off to see "Enchanted" with just about the whole family. Interesting idea, but highly sappy. Now back to Whidbey Island to visit with my folks (and the pug). Fun trip!

ANTARCTICA FUN FACTS -- In 1911, a British trip to Antarctica was led by Robert Falcon Scott. Instead of using regular materials, like down parkas and other Antarctic winter equipment, they used wool. Wool is not a very heavy material. When Scott and his crew were leaving and hiking back to their ship, they stopped for a break about a mile from their ship. It was so cold that they froze to death. (Source: Antarctic Explorers)
