Just Another Day…

  • A Smaller Family Reunion

    Because I have not been feeling well since getting back from the Thailand trip, we decided not to make the trip to MI this year for the annual family reunion. I think we made the right call even though we were both disappointed that we didn’t go. The boys were really looking forward to it, it’s all they’ve been talking about. 

    So, instead we took a much shorter trip down to Chicago’s Millennium Park and walked around with the boys and just hung out on the grass for awhile. 

    There are more photos here of Andrew only because Max was still sound asleep in the stroller when we stopped. By the time he was awake they were both ready to eat so we didn’t have time to get more photos of him. 

    Here’s a short movie clip as well of them playing in the grass for the first time.

  • 29 hours and 9000 miles later…

    I’m happy to be back at home. The trip was pretty uneventful and smooth so I can’t complain. More in a few days.

  • Boarding the plane to LAX

    We got our 12 bags checked and finally made it through customs and security. Next stop, California.

  • The Adventure Continues

    We’re off to the airport for our long trip back. The next update will probably come from the US once we land at LAX. Let’s hope that the trip back is not as problematic as the trip out here was!

  • Last Day in Bangkok

    Yesterday I did nothing. I woke up at 11:30 and ordered room service. After taking 2 hours to relax and eat, I went to the health club and worked out. Came back and took a shower, then went down to the pool for a few hours. Came back to the room and ordered room service again, took a little nap, and then spent the evening in the hotel lobby listening to live music and drinking Scotch. All in all, not a bad way to wrap up a trip.

    Today is mostly packing and working out travel details. We don’t actually leave for the airport until around 3:30 pm since our flight doesn’t leave until 7:30pm. Our flight is about 18 hours to LA California, and we have a 5 hour layover in LA. We leave LA around midnight and have a 5 hour flight back to Chicago, arriving around 5:30am on Monday (Chicago time) if all goes well.
