Goodbye Europe, Til We Meet Again!!

Our trip to Europe was truly amazing!  Getting to have one on one time with Adam was fabulous.  Home is calling though and Adam and I started our journey home with a train ride.  Jacob dropped us off at the Cambridge Train Station early Monday morning on his way to work.  
Our train took us to Kings Cross Station.  I didn't see platform 9 3/4, but we did get off on platform 8.  We took the Tube to the airport and began our check-in.  Going through security was wild.  They held Adam's bag to go through it, but he and I just left the security area and headed toward our boarding area.  A few strides down the corridor Adam noticed what we were missing and we headed quickly back to security!  They hadn't gone through it yet, so we hadn't missed to much :)  
After our bag was searched we made it our mission to leave England with as few Euros and Pounds as possible.  We bought some jam at Harrod's and Digestive crackers and other fun treats for the kids to try!  1.50 pounds was the amount we took with us as we boarded the plane. *Funny Side Note*  Adam had to go through 3 separate security checks while we were in London!  Because he traveled to Russia for school, followed by Pairs and London I think they were a little suspicious :)  Our travel was good, it was nice to have those remaining hours on the plane to share before we headed back to reality!!  
When we landed in Phoenix the first thing we noticed was of course the heat, but as we walked the corridor to baggage claim Adam stopped to admire the sunset, between Russian "white nights", cloudy days, and rain he hadn't seen a sun set in over two weeks.  We are home and it is great to be back!!
