Home Visit

Our contract allows us one trip home every year we’re over here. And for someone who is not generally very homesick, I was ready for a trip back to Texas so it came at the perfect time.

Charlotte’s school has two weeks off at Easter (the same amount of time they have off at Christmas) so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to eat BBQ see family.

We started our trip the night before by spending the night at the airport hotel - after our last experience with trying to catch a flight out of Zurich Airport, we weren't taking any chances!

It was a bit snug with our resident bed hogs,
but it was only one night so we managed

The next morning we loaded up (again tried to convince the Swiss TSA agent that the car seat does not fit through the x-ray machine; they still tried, it still doesn’t), found our gate and plane without too much incident and settled in for our flights.

Olivia elected not to nap at all in the combined 10 hours of flights, so we were all a bit tired & cranky by the time we arrived, but thankfully Grandmama & Papa met us at the airport so everything was immediately better.

The next day we had to make our annual trip to see the Easter Bunny at Neiman’s downtown

On Easter Sunday we got to go to church then to see some of the extended family for an Easter Egg Hunt and lunch.

The rest of the time we spent hopping back & forth between grandparents, baking all the treats, eating all the ice cream, climbing on all the things that we’re not allowed to at home, and loving every minute of being spoiled rotten.

Specifically requested by the 5 year old was a camping night with
Granddaddy, so they did...in the backyard

Adam & I even managed to sneak in a date afternoon to Target and a luxury restaurant

After two weeks, we headed back to Liechtenstein with full hearts (and a full pantry!)
