We were home last week in Cincinnati to visit.  We spent time with our children and grandchildren.  We visited our parents.  I had lunch with my sisters. We attended movie night at Lighthouse Point Yacht Club (our home port).  We had a wonderful time, but now we are back on our boat in Iuka, Mississippi.  Our next trip home will probably be over Thanksgiving. 

 

These are all of our grandchildren.  We so enjoyed spending time with them last week.

 

While we were home, it came to my attention that you might be interested in some statistics of our trip.  The trip took us from October 15, 2009 until September 7, 2012, almost three years.  We bought 4884.3 gallons of diesel fuel for a total of $ 17,781.28.  We spent $22,775.09 on mooring.  We spent $ 34,854.22 on maintenance and repair.  We put 1145 hours on the generator and 1154 hours on the engines. We cruised a total of 9117 miles and went through 135 locks.  Whew!  It makes me tired just to think about it.  We thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip.  We met tons of really nice people everywhere we went.  We are both so glad that we were able to do this trip of a lifetime.
