After a delayed flight, a missed flight, a night in a Chicago airport, and a traffic jam on the freeway, we have returned. Warmer, wiser, and more wistful for the gorgeous green and moisturizing humidity of the East. Though the journey home was a little over-eventful, it was a great trip. Tim got to spend time with his granddad, who has been very sick for the last six months or so, and I got to not only get to know this set of grandparents, but I also met two of Tim's uncles and their families. It was so much fun to see the interactions of these family members that I didn't even know I had and spend a fairly low-key weekend with amazing weather.
Some photos:

Easter dinner on the deck
Tim's cousins Cate, Katherine, and Grace and their frosting mess
Me driving the Mercedes (I had to take a picture, because this will probably never happen again...)
Dinner on our last night there
Fun! And that picture of the Dogwood tree flower is gorgeous!
