And we're off like a screaming herd of turtles

 

We finally left the dock!  There were no parades or music playing when we left but we felt like it as we finally started this adventure we've been talking about for more then 20 years and planning for the better part of the last five.  Weather was nice and we went from Monroe Boat Club up the Detroit River and stoped at Metro Beach for the night.  The boat did a great job pushing itself up the river and we are looking forward to our next day and getting out on to Lake Huron!

This trip has been a long time coming and I'm really looking forward to getting to experience it with my family.  I'm sure we will run into some issues along the way and I know home schooling may be a challenge (especially if we have to educate both kids).  Even though we are still waiting on a placement for Annabelle which the company assures us will happen we figure worst case we will park the boat for a few days rent a car head home for a few days and send her off!  For now I'm excited that she is with us for at least this part of the journey!  For now our goal is to work our way around Michigan fairly quickly and then slow down to smell the roses after we get to Chicago.
