Graduation, Birthday, and Statistics

One of the reasons we chose GTB for the summer is the proximity to home. A relatively easy 8 hour drive and we're there. Fortunately our timing worked out so we could attend Grandson Luke's high school graduation ceremony. Way to go Luke!

A big smile from Luke.

Would also like to wish my baby girl Angela a Happy Birthday for her May birthdate!



We'll be home for a few days so I thought I'd give some statistics from our trip.

There you have it. We will be spending the summer here at Green Turtle Bay. Why here? 2 main reasons. 1 it's only a days drive from home and 2 we like the place. We've been here before and know the lay of the land.
Of course there's always something to do on a boat so it won't be all play. And after a month of travel a good cleaning is the place to start.

Filthy swim platform.
