The wedding weekend was a blast! We managed to see lots of Seattle, went on a harbor cruise as well as the Ride the Ducks cruise - with a crazy captain by the name of Davey Quackett! It was really a great time over the 3 days.
Almost all of the Franko's made it. I think some people thought we were going to show up in shorts and a tee shirt for the wedding - you know with living on the boat and all. Personally I think we cleaned up pretty well! Note the view of Mt. Rainer beside Steve's head. It was visible for all three days - weather could not have been any better.
We left Seattle for Buffalo early Tuesday morning but didn't arrive until almost 11:30 pm. No problem for the Kubits though. They were docked at Tonawanda on the Erie Canal and as Motel 6 always says "the light will be on"! So we spent Tues and Wed night on their boat. They are just starting on the Erie Canal headed east and eventually will end up in the Bahamas. Joe and Joy were our dock neighbors at East 55th Street in Cleveland. It was a great visit but the euchre games ended up tied 2-2. Guess we need to meet them again to play the rubber .....
Since we had access to a car for the first time in 2 months, we just went crazy getting stuff that it hard to find or haul back on bikes. We hit West Marine (3 times, 2 stores), Wal-Mart, JoAnn Fabric, CVS, 2 grocery stores, Best Buy and Home Depot with plans for breakfast in the morning at McDonald's before we have to turn the car back in at 9 am. All Steve has to do now is find room for everything! Stores are few and far between (as well as expensive) as we move farther north so the idea was to provision up before leaving here (which we will do on Saturday or Sunday latest depending on weather).
Glad you made it back and all is well! It was great to see you both, looking forward to "following' you on your next adventures!
