Aaahhh, a nice break from all the heat with nice cool temps today and more of the same coming all week long. Unfortunately, no rain and it is so very dry here. And those poor folks out east with water, water everywhere!
Mark and I left for Mendota at 7:40 and met my brothers and sisters-in-law for breakfast at Cindy's. Enjoyed catching up with them. We went onto the nursing home. Sooo good to see Dad. He slept a lot, but ate most of his lunch (loved that peach pie). He has definitely lost weight, but seems comfortable and had a good chat with Linda (nurse). Mark visited his parents and had lunch with them and his sister, Karen.
Here are some stats that Mark put together from our trip:
From June 22-September 2, 2011, we covered 2,052 miles.
57 nights in marinas and 4 nights at anchor.
687 gallons of diesel fuel
cost of fuel - $3,090
73 locks
Traveled thru MI, NY, NJ, MD, VA and the Province of Ontario
We are very grateful to our friend, Bill from TN who suggested we finish the Loop clockwise...
What a trip!

Hi Pat: Glad you are home safely. Bob and I got home today around 4:30 - 5:00. A wonderful trip. I even enjoyed the baseball game and I think Bob really enjoyed the tennis. He even mentioned if we ever go back what we need to do. Learned a lot about the ins and outs of these two sporting events. Had AWESOME, as the boys would say, seats for both events. Enjoy your weeks at home before you go back to Catrina. We are off to Europe in two weeks. A lot of things to do these next two weeks preparing for this next trip. Love, Judy
