Going home

As I said, we traveled only with carry ons for our trip because we traveled a lot by train. We never traveled by train while we lived in France and while most all of the trains and trips were relatively easy and enjoyable, there were times we were definitely reminded why we never traveled by train (running from one train to another, rushing to get all our bags and family on the train, etc). Overall, it really was a good experience for us though at this point in life. While we were on a bunch of trains, I only remembered to get the camera out on the last one we took. Some were quite nice as we had our own little section to hang out in.

There's nothing like getting back home, though, even when you come home to pink walls. :) We had had our wall heightened and the painting was to be finished while we were gone. It was supposed to be brown, but as you can see there was a mishap. It was funny hearing teammates ask me about it as some weren't sure if I had actually chosen it or not. Definitely NOT! As Kenan said, "the walls are HIDEOUS!" to which I fully agreed. I felt like I was in Candy Land every time I looked out the window.

Thankfully after two weeks and a lot more paint, our walls are fixed and back to a "normal" color. :)
