Bob and Reesa Dawkins pose for a photo on the shore before boarding a zodiac boat to the National Geographic ship Endeavor. A sleeping sea lion lies on the sand a few feet behind them, completely undisturbed by their presence.
“I want to be on every continent before I leave this world,” Reesa Dawkins said flipping through photos of her latest adventure — a trip to the Galapagos Islands.
