...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.
