Day 16 - Auf Wiedersehen!

  We are home!  This was an amazing trip but it is so good to be back home.  It surprises me sometimes how much I miss the little things; my own bed, the sounds and silences of our neighborhood, familiar food in the fridge, wide roads, etc.

  Our last day was uneventful.  I packed while the boys took a bath (their third in 18 hours!) in the hotel's deep tub.  We ate our last German meal in the airport (overpriced and not that great) and boarded our flight with no problems.  Will and Jon both have their own carry on backpacks and this year they had a Thomas the Train suitcase for their clothes.  They were in charge of it until we checked the bags, a responsibility that they took very seriously.

  While we were waiting for our flight, Will saw another girl that he wanted to marry.  I didn't see her but apparently she was wearing pink and was his age or a little younger.  We talked for a minute about her and then Will said, "If we get married in not a long time then we would have very very very tiny babies."

  Our flight home was very long but not too stressful.  The boys are really excellent travelers, even when they are tired.  We've been taking them on plane trips since they were one and two years old and it is so much easier now that they are four and five!

  Getting through customs was pretty easy although by that time James and I were very tired.  Will and Jon who had been wonderful on the plane suddenly had tons of manic energy.  Will was talking non stop and at one point he asked me, "What is gravity made out of?".  A couple of women in line ahead of us started laughing and one said that she was glad she didn't have to answer that question!  But both boys fell asleep as soon as we got in the car.

  We had such a wonderful time on trip to Germany.  Thank you for reading and for sharing in our adventures.

Auf Wiedersehen!  Goodnight!
