Today we finally managed to make it all the way out to Castle Island where Umbriago el Dragon lives


As soon as Somers' feet hit sand she was immediately off exploring on her own



These paths and accesses to the fort (which dates back to 1621 and is the oldest standing English fortification in the New World) were overgrown with bush


It was definitely very spooky exploring some of the secret passages


But our intrepid duo, Elsa and Somers didn't hesitate to poke around in their quest to find Umbriago

There were a couple of possible sightings

We explored the outer and inner keeps

But wherever Umbriago was, he sure wasn't where we were looking

It was probably because we were there in broad daylight that we never discovered Umbriago

Eventually we returned home for some 'quiet' time, although that didn't last long with Somers, who was soon doing somersaults from the sofa

It takes a lot for these two to be tuckered out, but after watching dad do an open ocean swim race this morning, cycling around Clearwater for ages in the morning, looking for Umbriago in the afternoon and then swimming for a couple of hours... this is the result
