We have a numerous irons in the fire right now. Vacations with kids (5′er and boat), vacations without kids (boat), so there will be lots of fun, new pics coming soon.
The boat trip with just Bill and I will be a well deserved bit of couple time. We are not sure which direction we are heading, or for how long, but rest assured we plan on finding some isolated anchorages. There are a ton of little islands and deserted areas between here and Mexico, and hopefully we will find that one particular harbor to restore our minds and bodies.
The 5′er trailer trip is at the request of the kids and will not involve the ocean, again at their request. They want rivers and hills and such, so northwest..ish is the direction we will head. I am really, really looking forward to being in the 5′er again. Every single time I go to check on it in storage, I cry. I open the doors, climb in, and the smells of happiness, fun times and dreams yet to be fulfilled intoxicate me and I am ready to hitch it up and head off forever. (sigh)
Until blast off time, I am busy with lists, finding charts, researching anchorages, finding trailer parks etc etc.
Parents Gone Wild On a Boat tales coming soon.
I can’t wait to hear the parents gone wild tales
What I would like to see is the pick-up towing the 5-er and the boat at the same time. Now that would be a picture! So glad you are going to go have some travel fun! Make sure you make your hometown a stop on the way.
Hi Jody,
Sounds like such a fun filled summer! We were just starting to get our RV ready for summer when I hurt my foot. I’m still hopeful that we can use it a bit. Have a wonderful time, wherever you wander (or sail!)

No particular plans at this moment. We are starting from the Great Lakes so the first part of our adventure will involve making our way to the East Coast and down the ICW. After that we will hop over to the Bahamas and where ever the wind and the mood dictates.
We believe that plans that are too firm never work out when we’re actually sailing. So the big picture now is much more general than what our day to day planning will be.
Oh I hope you have so much fun!
Sounds like a couple of great trips.
Are you still planning on a longer trip to the Carribean in 2009? Just curious since our family of three is planning a similar trip at the same time.
You know, we are not sure. We have so much to do on the boat, it will depend on if we can get her ready by then. We are thinking about a Gulf Crossing to Vera Cruz, or possibly the Keys. It will depend on how much time off Bill can take at a time.
I want to sail to Isla Mujeras, but time is the big factor.
Where in the Caribbean are you heading?
Both trips sound like loads of fun, for different reasons.
Sounds heavenly. Can’t wait to see pictures.

Envious… Have fabulous adventures!!
Have I told you lately how much I love your life? At least I can tune in. You have a grand summer and be safe. I can’t wait to read all about it.
Ill keep you in my prayers for safety!
