Day 11 (Saturday, May 17th)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homeward Bound.<\/p>\n

Not much to report here. Our first flight left San Diego at 12:30 in the afternoon… between layovers and time changes we finally made off the airplane in Salt Lake a little after 7:00 at night. It was a long day.<\/p>\n

First Flight:
\n<\/p>\n

A funny story… we had Bridget running around to any airline employee she could find – while we waited at the gate for our first flight to board- asking for wings. Apparently none of the airlines give away wings anymore. Weird. She didn’t give up though, as we boarded the plane she asked the first stewardess she saw, “Can I have some wings?” The funniest thing is that she probably didn’t have the faintest idea what she was asking for. The stewardess was funny, she just replied, “No, I don’t have any wings. But I have these cookies. Cookies are better than wings anyway” – and she handed Bridget a package of cookies from the stash of first class airline snacks. She forgot all about her quest for wings after that.<\/p>\n

Second Flight:
\n<\/p>\n

We were all very tired, but Bridget was the only one that got any sort of a real nap.<\/p>\n

When we pulled in the garage at home we were sure glad to be back. Its funny, we thought that it would be great to have such a long vacation – and it was, but when it came right down to it, we think it was about 2 days longer than ideal. As I’m sure you can tell from our declining pictures, toward the end we really started to get burned out.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we had a great vacation! It was tons of fun to relive it through these pictures and posts – thanks for joining us!<\/p>\n

P.S. We ended up stopping to see Marissa first thing when we got back to Logan (around 9:30p.m.) – of all things things Bridget had to be excited to come home for, the one she kept talking about was Marissa. Its funny how much a little kid can miss her friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
