Wednesday - the trip back home...

...we are back in Portland.  Just arrived an hour ago at PDX via Chicago.  I guess we left Germany just in the nick of time,  as today it was snowing in Tuttlingen....It is good to be back at home :)

The trip was fine,  just long. We left Tuttlingen around 8 am this morning.  As an exception both girls ate Wurst for breakfast.  The girlies were hungry by the time we were at the gate, and I decided that the girls deserved a treat.  There were not many options, but there were chips.  So guess, what their special treat was?  Yup,  chips for both girls...here they are

Paprika Chips for all

For the flight I had packed Landjaeger, as well as Zwiebelpeitschen, for the trip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landjaeger - they are perfect for trips.  I had a total of six and you know what?!  The girls ate all of them.  One small piece each at the airport - and the rest on the plane.  Look at Alena eating her piece at the airport in Zurich...

For the airplane ride to Chicago I had ordered vegan meals for the girls for the return trip as well.  Rice, peas, and a veggie stew; salad; grapes for desert.  It was good - but neither girl ate a lot as they preferred the Landjaeger :)  The treats on the plane were all "unsafe".  Ice cream, and swiss chocolate - but the girls took it in stride.  Instead they scored additional crackers and Sprite.  A treat they rarely get :) It all worked out great....

In Chicago,  we had a very tight connection and ended up running to the gate.  I am so glad that we made the 5 PM flight, and did not have to wait around for the later flight.  The three of us slept all the way - and now we are happily back at home.
