The biggest golden retriever we've ever seen! You can't tell in the picture, but this guy (Rosco) was a beast!
Preston in the bear's lap
getting back on the ship, you walked under this sign ... so do you mind your head or follow your heart? That was a question we often reflected on because of this sign.
You'd be surprised at how many of these planes we saw!
