And They're Off...

Most of the troops have officially left town! I snapped a few pics at Paul and Joan's house the evening they left! We went up to say goodbye and thought it might be fun to capture the chaos of last minute food packing and loading the vehicles!Lot's of food is packed to keep from buying it down there!

48.5lbs! As close as it gets!!

You can't read it but this one is the same exact weight!!

They also have the St. John Spice Cam with a live view of the Cruz Bay Ferry Dock!

Hoping some of these vanilla beans will make their way back to the main land!!!
