I turned to find my seven-year-old son, Remy, pointing out a diamond stingray.
A moment later, we both spotted a green sea turtle.

The trip, I had to admit, was going swimmingly.
We also liked that Intrepid is certified as a B Corp and partners with the Galapagos Conservancy.
I had envisioned a mini United Nations of kids from around the world.

Ill admit to some apprehension about being in such an intimate group.
I was pleased for Remy, who said he enjoyed traveling with the twins.
Its nice having someone to talk to that understands you, he confided.

We bonded over the knowledge that wed remember these wild moments because wed shared them together.
Remy still FaceTimes with the twins, usually to workshop new song lyrics.
They can learn photography from experts and kayak past icebergs alongside breaching whales.
