I had such a wonderful time back in the States. I'm not going to lie, it's a little difficult to be back. It's hard to go from a full month of being surrounded by family to coming back to my poorly air conditioned apartment with no family around to keep us company. The jet lag doesn't help matters but I'm sure by the end of the week we will start to feel normal again.
I really appreciate all of the hospitality we received on our journey - From Buckeye at Granny's, Aunt Corliss's in Albuquerque to Dad and Nancy's in Hoschton. We had a wonderful time and already look forward to our next visit home.
I uploaded a large number of pictures onto my Flickr photo stream from the vacation which you can view here:

I am also posting a few of my favorites here. I really want to make a video, too, but I make no promises - I just can't resist finding a way to mash up all of Henri's "donging" with the grandfather clock chimes, his streaking at Gammy and Gampy's and that angry gorilla from the zoo in Albuquerque...
