Back to Work....Uhhhgggg!

Well our trip has finally come to an end. Shawn tried to talk me into staying an extra week so that we could go visit some of the other countries surrounding Germany. He even offered to have Steve flown over for that next week as well. That was so tempting because it would have been nice to have made some memories with my sweetheart over here. Steve did not have a passport at that point so he was unable to come. Shawn is pretty thoughtful though! He knew how much I missed Howie and that we really have a great time with Ape and the kids. It is nice to have a pilot in the family!!! Maybe next time!

We got back to base and we were in a bit of trouble. We accidently left for our week excursion with the visitor pass. That is TOTALLY against the rules here. It is EXTREMELY tight as far security goes here. YIKES! We goofed and I was sure worried for Shawn, but things got all worked out when we returned and we learned a BIG lesson!

Shawn ready to go back to work.....

The vacation is over :(

A few last minute shots before heading home....

They had piles of lumber all over the place like this one

There were also lots of these teeny tiny cars driving around. This picture is pretty blurry but you can see it okay. We need more of these cars around here with the way the gas prices are!

We also got a kick out of the EXIT signs here.....

At least it's not GAS that is exiting! April thought her dad would appreciate these signs.

The time had finally come to head out to the airport. After we dropped Shawn off at work it was time for me to go.

Half way to the airport Karah realized that I was actually leaving to go home. I looked back and she had this poor pitiful look on her face as she began to cry. Giant crocodile tears streamed down her face as she said...."You can't leave me Grandma "T" I love you too much. I will be sad if you go!" It just about broke my heart. She is my little buddy and I adore her. I climbed back into the back seat with her and we gave each other hugs. I seriously had to fight back the tears myself.

We'll be together again very soon.....

Leaving Gemany and heading home.

Back to work and the real world.....

It has taken me so long to catch up on all of the photos from this trip but I finally made it. YEAH!!! Now I can start posting some of the more recent fun times spent with family and friends.... Thanks again Shawn, Ape and Steve for the wonderful time I had. Love ya!
