morning cleaning and packing, and then we made the drive to
Frankfurt. We made a final stop at our rogue Internet stop that J
referred to in his great post.
Once in Frankfurt, we found our hotel and then made a 'dry run' to the
airport so tomorrow morning will go as smoothly as possible.
After all that, Gina helped us get to the Museum of Natural History.
It was pretty cool, and you know our Little G loved the dinos!
We were pretty hungry for dinner, and I was really wanting some of the
yummy cooking we had when we first hit Germany 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunately that was pretty hard to find in the big city. (We did
find a nearby Starbucks that opens at 6 am! Yes!) Since down home
German cooking wasn't an option, we went for our second
favorite...Chinese of course!
Now we are back at our hotel preparing for a short night, and a
loooong day tomorrow. (Our April 23 will be about 33 hours!)
We are very happy to be headed home. We miss our family and friends a
lot, and we are also really looking forward to mundane things like
grocery shopping, doing laundry, and taking showers on our own turf. I
will say that we were all a little meloncholy packing up this morning.
We have had SUCH a great trip. We have built so many memories- big
ones of exploring castles and ancient ruins, and smaller ones- of
dancing in our train cabin on the way to Innsbruck, of sounding out
interesting German words, and all the little cafes we ate at. It is
hard to believe it's all over. Thankfully J doesn't have to go back
to work for 3 more weeks, so it will be a while before we are 100%
back to real life!
Time to get everyone snuggled in for the night. You should see this
set up. We have a double bed and a single bed. For 5 of us. M and G
are sleeping on the single, with heads at opposite ends, like the
grandparents on Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Should be an
interesting night.
Ciao, Cheers, and Auf Weidersehen

Have a safe trip home! I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for all of you!
Would you believe that *I'm* getting teary-eyed that your trip is over? We're glad to be getting you back, but what a wonderful experience! Have a safe trip home!
Counting the minutes!!!! Prayers and lots of love, Mom
Travel safe! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. You guys will have these memories forever :)
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! It has been so fun seeing how the babes have adjusted to the "big adventure", and Carter seems like such a big boy! Joel, you and Sarri, have given so much more to your children than just the trip. . .the spirit of adventure, being flexible in new situations, enjoying the present, and just being together with uninterupted time. All of those are priceless gifts. . .I love you all. Auntie Beck
