July 16: Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam....

Everyone had a good sleep in their own beds.  We spent the day after vacation unpacking, grocery shopping, and recovering.  The kids kept wandering around the house talking about how BIG our house was.  After spending a month packed into the same room, they were really glad to be back to their own spaces and being able to spread out.

Four weeks worth of mail.  It was actually less than I
thought it might be!

Benjamin and his BIG leaf
that he picked in Ohio at
Rachel's farm.  It came home with
us, but we told him he couldn't
keep it forever.

Almost 5,000 miles and a month of travel were well worth it.  We made lots of memories and had a wonderful time as a family.  Can't wait to do another one!
