The best part of the Loop is traveling to new places on your boat and meeting new people.
The worst part of the Loop is missing family and friends.
When you can combine the two, pulling your boat into a new port to see family and friends, it is better than the best and Port Washington was just that!  My nephew Peter and his wife Kelly and their new baby girl, Emmy came to visit us in Port Washington (Kelly's hometown) and we were so thrilled to see them and meet Emmy!

Time to eat!
Peter is my brother, Jim and his late wife, Jill's son.  He is a fireman in Waukesha and Kelly is a Biology teacher in Waukesha.  They are exceptional people and it was so much fun watching them with Emmy.  Very proud of them!

Planning dates for folks to visit us on the Loop has been a challenge since we don't really know when we'll arrive somewhere or how long we'll stay, so we felt so fortunate that it worked for Kelly, Peter and Emmy to drive over from their home in Delafield, WI to visit us.  Meeting Emmy was so awesome!  Tom has always said, in regard to grandchildren, "the people we are going to love the most, aren't even here yet".  Well, they are starting to come.  All of our nieces and nephews are having babies and it's wonderful! 
More later from Chicago~

What a great voyage you have had. I have throughly enjoyed following your travels. In the words of the wacky and wonderful Dr. Seuss. “Oh the places you’ll go”
Love to you both,
Dave

Morning Uncle Dave~
Yes it has been quite the trip. As I write this note we are within 200 miles of Grafton, IL and crossing our wake. If the Mississippi is still flooding we may have to tie Bella up for a while in Grafton, go home and wait for the Mississippi to go down and then return and take her back up. We'll have to wait and see.
It has been quite the journey. Hard to believe that it is coming to an end. We've enjoyed seeing everything from the water. Who knows maybe we'll do it again!
Hi to Pat and take care. love, Sue
