Homeward Bound (t&r)

As we boarded the plane at SeaTac on July 16, 2006 we knew we were in for an exciting 5 1/2 months. What we didn't know was just what a spectacular adventure it would be. From our first hellos with old friends in New York to our last goodbyes with new friends in China, this will be an experience that will be with us for years to come. Our stopover here in Hawaii on the way home has provided us with one more opportunity to see something new together as a family. There has been no end to the kindness and generosity we've been shown and the beautiful sights we've seen. For this final post we've chosen more of our favorite photos that we feel reflect all the fabulous people and places we've been fortunate enough to be a part of since leaving home. We hope they give you another glimpse into what has been, to date, one of the most fascinating trips for our family. Happy travels.
