We are back!

Phew, at a little less than 7,000 miles, we made it home, safe and sound, by 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 11.

It was an incredible trip . . . and I didn't need any tranquilizers . . . well, at least according to me . . . the entire trip! I think part of this was that the women on the trip, Lindsey, Sarah and I, switched seats enough to keep us and our seat mates happy.

While Dave and the kids unloaded the van Friday evening, I started laundry and general clean up. We had been doing laundry as we went along so there wasn't boatloads of the stuff, just about four or five days worth. Everyone, except me, crashed by 10:30. I stayed up and did some homework on the computer that had to be completed by Saturday morning.

While I was at my first MBA courses on Saturday, Dave and the kids went to a wedding. We went to the reception Saturday evening (the kids were invited) and had a blast. We didn't leave until 11:30. The bride and groom were distressed because some people hadn't taken any pictures at all. So Zachariah and Dave ended up collecting all the cameras that were left on the tables and took pictures of people laughing and dancing and chatting.

Sunday was spent finishing clean up, dropping off film (Dave still uses a 35mm) and downloading other pics. When I have them up and online, I will post them.

It is good to be home. It is good to be back at work. It was great to spend time with my kids and hubby without any outside influences.

I will write more about what we did later.
