We made it safely back to Michigan after a safe but miserable ride in a small Kia rental car with NO CRUISE CONTROL! Did you even know they make cars today without cruise control???!!! It was nice to land in Grand Rapids and spend the night with our friends Tom & Amy, who had been "car-sitting" for our Acadia.
We made it back to Ludington on Thursday, just in time to get unpacked and prepare for the arrival of our awesome children and grandchildren on Friday for our annual Memorial Day Weekend extravaganza. The weekend was no disappointment, as usual, with much fun and as many loving hugs and kisses as we could grab! For a change, the weather actually cooperated. It's great to be home with family.
Over the next few weeks we have many adventures scheduled with friends and family, so time will fly. We will enjoy every moment, but still look forward to returning to the water and completing the Loop.
Regularly, we are in touch with Looper friends who are continuing on their journey. They are providing great tips on what to avoid and what to see when we return and take the same path northward. We are both anxious to reconnect and hopefully be able to celebrate "wake-crossings" as they occur along the way. For those non-boater people, wake-crossing is when a boat finishes the loop at their starting point - typically their home port. Our wake-crossing will occur toward the end of September and we hope to have old friends, new friends, and family here to greet us and celebrate!
Since we will be home until after the week of July 4, there will be no Loop adventures to share on our blog. Thus, there will be no postings here until after we resume our journey. Thanks SO VERY MUCH to our loyal and loving followers. Mark your calendar for July 11 or 12 to watch for new postings, as we "plunge" into new adventures on the waterway. In the meantime, it is likely we will see many of you while in Ludington/Grand Rapids/Pentwater over these next few weeks. Hugs to everyone!
