Erica and I arrived back in Kirkland last Friday, after 9 days on the road. Our trip from Grand Rapids, MI to Kirkland, WA was 55 hours of driving, over 3000 miles. We averaged 33.7 MPG in her Mazda 3, and spent $328.55 on gas (lowest price: $3.409 in Hill City, SD – highest price: $3.819 in Ellensburg, WA).

It’s great to be back in the Seattle area, and we’re settling in. We took 2,407 pictures on the trip, and I think we got some great shots. I’ll be posting some of our favorites to the website soon.

Stingray City on Grand Cayman Island. We swam with them at sea before we did some snorkeling.

A simulated (real?) pirate ship at dock in Grand Cayman Islands. They gave pirate demonstrations, Arrr!!!

A parrot hanging out at the dolphin lagoon.

In Freeport, Bahamas, we had a chance to play with and get kisses from dolphins. They also did some cool flying tricks for us!
