Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

We arrived back home in VB Sunday night around 9:30pm.  After unloading the van, Malone and B-saurus promptly started playing with their toys that they hadn't seen for 3 weeks.  Kakes and Pat disappeared upstairs to read and Papa started getting ready for bed since he'd have to be at work at 7am.  As for myself, I started in on laundry and sorting through phone messages and mail. 

Monday morning everyone who didn't have to go to work slept in.  B snuck in around 8:30am and woke me up.  Malone was next at around 9am.  Pat, who usually doesn't sleep past 7am, came downstairs around 10am.  My sleeping beauty (Kakes) didn't grace us with her presence until noon. 

We had a fantastic trip.  Overall, the experience was good.  At no point did I regret embarking on this adventure.  There were a few challenges but nothing out of the ordinary.  I would have no problems with attempting another trip of this magnitude.
