Finally home!

Today we got up early and flew home from Cleveland. We arrived safely at 10:30 am PDT and were picked up at LAX by Dave and Cathy (Kirsten's parents). We are exhausted, but so blessed to have been able to take this trip. It was really the chance of a lifetime. God is so good! All the hours we spent researching and preparing for this trip really paid off. We only had a few things fall off the agenda due to running out of time, and none of those were a huge disappointment. We have a lot of people to thank for their assistance with this trip. Thanks to Linda Bitto for helping us out with our Marriott hotel stays and getting us a discount. Thanks to John and Nancy Abbott again for their hospitality in using the condo in Alexandria and their home in Middleburg. Thanks to Mike, Becky and Katie Moshenek for joining us at the Orioles game in Baltimore, then sharing their home with us for the night. Thanks to Laura for joining us for the majority of the trip. I hope we didn't tease you too much. Thanks to Laura's friend, Kent, for making the long trip back east to join us, if only for a few days. It was great to meet you. Thanks again to Dave and Cathy for the transportation to and from the airport. We hope you all enjoyed following along with our journey; it was fun for us to share it. Thanks for being our friends.
