Well - we made it home & in a mere 27.5 hrs! We were delayed in D.C. then got stuck out on the tarmac after they haulted all northbound departures. We learned lots of stuff on this trip - from what sites we want to see when we go back, to what sites we want to see with Little A, to what shoe size we need to buy! We just picked up our photos from CVS (of course) and we'll be taking them around with us over the course of the next few weeks. Everyone's concensus is that it'll be late July before we go back for court & can bring Little A home.
So for now we'll leave you with some scans of postcards we picked up at a souvinir shop just before we left. Enjoy!
