Hilton 2024

We finally used our PHR drink vouchers.  We got lunch at the restaurant which was rather tasty and then they had really awseome lemonade which I got about 6 refills throughout the day.

September 2024

Owen and Milton finally agreed to a haircut! Milton likes to have some length to his hair. The Children's Theater put on the Lion King that we went to go see at the University of Guam.  I thought it was fun, but the boys were a smidge unimpressed.  Damon had a successful fishing morning with other dentists from Apra. The boys are doing well in school with their favorite thing to do is play with their legos.  I got my science club kids registered so we could participate in the 30th annual Coastal Cleanup at Paseo Park.  It was a fast turnaround because we finally got back to in-person school on September 3rd and I had to get all the forms signed by the parent/guardians quickly. Milton wanted to be a tank for Halloween so we tried to make one from our grill box.  Our grill from Lejeune totally rusted out so we needed to get a new one.  It is amazing how fast things rust here. We had one day off for Tropical Depression Bebinca. 

Nikko - August 2024

We redeemed another PHR pool pass to the Nikko hotel.  We also went to lunch at their in-house restaurant which is a Japanese restaurant. The kids plate comes on an airplane-shaped plate.  The sushi and sashimi was really tasty. 

Gadado Cave 2024

We guided Damon to see the Gadado Cave petroglyphs. They are beautiful and so neat to be in the same place as the same people as thousands of years ago. We did end up driving through somebody's yard (with approval) in order to get to the correct pathway. 

Mushroom Rock

The Mushroom Rocks are along the Hila'an Beach.  We start at Tanguisson Beach, next to the Tanguisson Generating Station.  It seems not the best of locations for swimming...but such as it is when living on an island with limited space.  A brief jaunt through some jungle on a surprisingly easy-to-find trail to get to the Hila'an Beach where the Mushroom Rocks are towards the end.  The boys really liked playing around in the rocks since we were there during low tide. There are lots of little hermit crabs all over the rocks.
