This week we are heading to New London, Connecticut, to spend some time with Casey during Parents' Weekend at the Coast Guard Academy. Before going to New London, however, our plan is to stop in Delaware City to check on the boat and do any additional winter storage preparations we feel are needed. Gale had to work today, so it was 3:30 pm before we hit the road. We slept about four or five hours in a rest stop somewhere in Ohio.
