Leaving Home


Home was great. Family, friends, dock mates, and former coworkers made for a productive and fabulous month. Re-connecting was wonderful; we caught up on the Nashville news and everyone wanted to hear tails of the trip –we even got to entertain some fellow Loopers and show off our hometown.    We babysat, partied hard, re-upped with our doctors and re-provisioned.  Holden, Leeton, Katie, Scott and Nick are especially hard to leave—we are so blessed that they are as excited with our travels as we are.  All will be sorely missed but we have caught the traveling bug and besides, we have a Loop to finish.  We will be back for Christmas.    We want to go to Florida for the winter—some people get on an airplane and are there in a couple of hours, others hop in their car and are there in 8-16 hours.  We will hop on the boat and will be there in 2-3 weeks.  Fitz and I think this is the fun way.  We will cross our wake (finish) the Loop at the top of the Tombigbee.  Then we will continue to Mobile Bay where we hope it will be a little warmer than the first time we did the panhandle of Florida.  Today we head up the Cumberland River toward the Tennessee River and beyond. 
Leeton loved the dingy--we are working on Holden
 
The Annual School Carnival and Leeton's Kindergarten Teacher--I think she is 17!
 
Craig and Connie invited us over and many of our closest friends to Show and Tell
 
 
Girlfriends--I have the best!
