The Last Day and Coming Home

Chillin'
So our last day in Europe  *sigh* :(

Basically we just (to use one of my favorite words) chilled. We slept in a little, and had a really nice breakfast (but then again, we did everyday :)). We also played some Wii, and built a fort in the girls room... stuff like that.

Then later, early afternoon, we walked down to the lake again. The lake was COVERED in pollen. All this yellow stuff floating at the top. It was actually kinda gross, and I was really glad that I'm not really allergic to pollen. We all waded in a less pollen-y part of the lake. It was really, I mean REALLY cold. And my dad and Okan went swimming. Well, actually they jumped in, got out right away, shivered a lot and then repeated. Yeah, they're crazy.

Once back at the house, my dad, my mom, Coral, Ellie and I went to a Swiss mall... to go grocery shopping. I know! Crazy right? But the mall was really nice, with hard wood floors and a mountain view through a glass window. There were also these elscalator-like things, that were ramps for the carts. The cool part was that the carts didn't move if you let go. So we did some food shopping, and tried to do some shoe shopping, but we got kicked out of the store because it was closing.

Dinner was DELICIOUS! The kids watched a movie, and then it was off to bed because we had to get up early for the plane the next day.


Coming Home
We got up at 6:30, which was hard, and I was tired. Then the plane ride which was pretty uneventful. When the ride was finally over we were back in America! It was nice to hear English and recognize places on the drive home. On the way back we stopped at Wawa and got a soda filled with ice. (they don't really put ice in drinks in Europe, something we found both weird and annoying).

We got back to our neighborhood, and all the flowers and trees were blooming, so that was nice. Also, we got into our house and eggs were hidden everywhere! We went on an egg hunt before we started doing laundry (we have a LOT of laundry to do). We also had a very nice Easter dinner. :)

The trip was GREAT, and I never wanted to leave. I had such an awesome time. We visited great places, ate great food and stayed with great people :) But at the same time, it also feels good to be home.

So, I guess that's it! I hope you enjoyed my blog of the trip! Thanks for reading :)
