Thursday - August 17

Beautiful day and we were off to NYC by 7:20 this morning.    More swells in the ocean but the longer we went, the better it got.    We were cruising past the Statue of Liberty at 11 AM....such a thrill to see her up close and personal.    Lots and lots of people waiting in line.

We are anchored out behind the statue and it is so calm.    We passed by Liberty Park where these flags were displayed (no wind here)!

 Unfortunately taking our dinghy to shore is not allowed!    Bummer.....such a pretty day to be out and about and get some exercise.
 
Liam and Connor's 1st day back-to-school for 2017-18
 
All of our grandchildren are back in school except for Brady who starts the 23rd and Maeve who is a stay-at-home-baby!
 
Drew (senior), Davis (sophomore), Liam (7th), Brady and Connor (6th) and
 Luke and Blair (pre-school).
 
Latest update on Michael......since he's been on an oral steroid, he has to stop that before he can be given a steroid epidural injection +++ they have to clear with insurance company which means more delays and now scheduled for next Friday, the 25th!!!!    CRAZY......
 
So sad and sickened to hear about the latest "van plowing into pedestrians" incident.    Makes me just wanna scream......we can picture this beautiful and popular area of Barcelona where we were with
 Paul and Kathy in 2013 before our Windstar cruise "Splendors of Southern Spain".
 
Mark grilled out brats and burgers tonight - sooo good.    Since we can't grill out in marinas and haven't anchored out in a long time, this was a real treat.    We grilled extras to have along the way...
