Trip home

The last night in our apartment. We went out on the balcony for the first time.

Andrew: We took an Austrian Air and a Delta plane home. The landing in Utah was rather rough.
Edward: [He doesn't know why he should tell anyone about the trip home.]
Lucy: I got a coloring book and pencils [on the Austrian Airline].
Henry: was well-behaved and didn't throw up.

Waiting in the airport in Vienna.

The trip was long and we are still trying to get things back together at home. Last night Kirk and I looked at the messy sitting room and then just decided to ignore it. Usually Kirk will clean everything up for Sunday if I haven't already done it, but the sitting room was just much of a disaster to tackle on Saturday evening.

Back in Utah note

We have arrived back in Utah. By the time we went to bed on Tuesday, I had been awake for 24 hours. I got about four hours of sleep the night before. I calculated that we spent about 18 hours traveling, counting taxi rides, time running around airports, and sitting on planes, before we arrived home.

I am tired and moving slowly. The children bounced out of bed early in the morning, so I took Andrew and Edward to school today.

I have some thoughts about traveling with children that I want to write down so I don't forget them. I also have to ask the children what they want to do with this blog, and if they want to write more.
