This whirlwind trip home has seen the joys of a long life come to fruition; all in 2 weeks. While home we celebrated our Carmen's 4th birthday. Now I know it was only a few weeks ago she just learned to walk and now she is asking me for my ITunes password so she can buy an app for her ipad! How did that happen so fast?
We also got to enjoy some time with our 4 year old Lili; who we do not get to see nearly enough, and her 6 month old brother Cooper. They came all the way to BA-TA-VI-A from Florida to help us celebrate my Bobby's marriage to his lovely Kristin. So here is where the emotional overload kicks in: The same morning that we were getting ready for the wedding we were holding and playing with Cooper. He is one new world beginning. Later the same day I was choking back tears (almost) as I watched my baby (o.k. he is 32 but he is still my baby!) marry his long time love. There's another new world starting. Grandchildren and weddings all in the same day are emotional bombs! In a good way of course.
Dave and I are so blessed everywhere we turn. Our family and friends came together with us yesterday to celebrate a really important day in our family and we love them for it.
So what does all this have to do with boating? Nothing - it's just part of the larger journey we are on.

So Tuesday we are heading back to the Blue Moon. No train this time. We are renting a car one way to haul all the stuff back they we have accumulated. We hope that Benji has not let those dastardly furry pirates take over .the ship. Guess we will see when we get back.
Stay tuned.
