H-o-m-e

We made it! After what I believe to be the longest flight I’ve ever been on (and Delaney and Frankie), we touched down at Dulles. Y’all, 9 hours and 45 minutes is a long time. And we had no food. They fed us a pretty good lunch after 2 hours, and then a pretty good warm panini sandwich after 7 hours and 45 minutes, but we were hungry. We would have brought food, but for the transportation fiasco and also I guess grocery stores are closed on federal holidays too, so 2 strikes.

All in all, if given Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa 2 thumbs up. One weird thing about Austrian was their uniforms though. Head to toe red and even red purses. Apparently their red tights are infamous, and I do like iconic, but in my opinion they are a little much.Anyway, we got through customs and everything and popped over to Raising Canes after we picked up our car. 

And then we had a lovely 3 hour ride home through traffic. We talked about waiting it out but we were all so ready to be home, and also naively hopeful it wouldn’t take the 2 and a half hours it said it would. Jokes on us, it took longer.

We made it home and had an hour and a half to kill before we wanted to go to bed so I got on an unpacking roll and my adrenaline kicked in and that’s why it’s almost 4am European time and I’m still blogging. Hopefully that means my adjustment will be easy? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 

I love this. I feel like maybe I’ve shared it before, but I’ve been talking about this a lot with the girls and I just know it’s so important and so hard and like so many things, something to choose everyday. 
Also, Sarah sent this and just look at those precious babies. Love them so much. ❤️
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I love love to travel and I love love to come home.
