Friday, July 13th - Homeward bound!!!!

The day has come!

Spent the night near the airport.  Is a huge and beautiful airport.

After we went through security, we were greeted with many nice shops.  In our of our friends, the Giordano's in NJ, we snapped this shot.  It was the nicest airport/mall we've been in.  Stores like Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, Versace, Gucci, etc. 

Below is a our friend Jane (Stella's grandmother) getting her baby fix before we boarded.

Here's our flight pattern home.

Before take-off

We were very lucky.  No one selected to sit in the middle seat between Regan and Brett.....or Derek and I.  Made the long flight much more enjoyable.

Elise leveraged the middle seat as a bed.  Thank goodness she is small!  She got the most rest of any of us. 

15 1/2 hours later we landed in Newark.  Once we were in customs, we gave them the magical envelope.  Jen and Elise went into another room....and a few minutes later, were allowed to leave.  Elise is officially a US citizen!  We are SOOO glad to be home!
