When they finally arrive, it is dark, and Karen can’t find the house. Via cell phone, Joe tells her to look for the “blinking porch light” Karen couldn’t see any blinking lights. Finally, Frank runs to the end of the driveway to guide them in.
• Ben attends his first family vacation
• Day trip to the Wright Brother Memorial
• We go fishing and don’t catch anything. Dad donates a piece of treasure (grandpa Kilbert’s ring) to the ocean blue during our fishing trip - just like in “Titanic”
