Day 7 - Returning Home

We woke up bright and early on Saturday morning (6:30am local time, 2:30am Indiana time) so that we had time to shower, pack the rest of our stuff, check out, drive to the airport, return the rental car, get through United Check-in line, get through security, get through customs, grab some breakfast at the airport, and get on the plane by 10:15am for an 11:10am take off.  We actually made it, but had to go through Dublin Airport security AND the Customs security...lame!  We made it to the terminal at about 9:30am and had just enough time to grab snacks, some "to go" breakfast, and chill before the SEVEN HOUR flight to Washington DC - Dulles, where we connected.  The 7 hour flight wasn't as bad as it could be, because they had free in-flight movies on the screens in each seat back.  We watched This is Where I Leave You, a comedy with Jason Bateman, and The Judge, with Robert Downey, Jr.  We started to watch Tammy, but turned it off because we either weren't in the mood, or just didn't find it funny.  Gosh, that was a long flight.  Here's just how long...almost 3500 miles at about 500mph.  LouAnna is NOT happy sitting that long, let alone in the middle seat!

As we were slowing down...one of the last times they updated us on the monitors.

We finally got to Dulles and had about a 90 minute layover, and then it was just another 2 hours till we arrived in Indiana and got down to baggage claim.  By about 7:05pm, LouAnna's dad, Slick, and Rachel were in the car picking us up and we were headed to our house...FINALLY!  We got home at about 7:35pm and were happy and exhausted!  This was the longest amount of daylight we had ever seen!  We fell asleep a little after 10pm (after having been up almost 20 hours) and slept for 11 hours!  Bliss!

We had a little time to reflect on our week and come up with our favorites.  Chris and LouAnna both agree that Ladies View was the best moment of the trip!  Cliffs of Moher and the Hawk Walk take spots and 2 and 3!  This trip was better than we imagined and the PERFECT honeymoon for these two love birds!  We had an absolute blast, but Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz was right, there "is no place like home"!
