25th Anniversay - Day 9 - Florence to Milan to NYC to Boston (May 7, 2015)


Leaving our hotel :(

Last day! So sad to leave but happy to be going back to see our family. Our train left at 8am so we got up early and got going. We still had a little problem once we got to Milan figuring out how to get back to the airport. But after a little run and stress and then wait we made it.


We actually got to the airport in good time and then we thought we had more time and euros left over so after we went through security we did a little shopping. Then as we start walking to our terminal it was really far away. We kept walking and walking and walking. We were beginning to think we weren't going to make it. But we finally did. Ahhh. Exhausted again! But we did get to sit together this time. 


We ate, slept, watched a movie and then we ate, slept, and watched another movie on our way to ...


At the airport we had to go rent our van and then go back and park it so that we could go meet the kids in the city. That was a foreverness process too. By now it was like midnight Italy time so we were beginning to get tired.

One last selfie at the 9-11 memorial before we met up with the kids. 

And we were all together again!!! Yay! I was so happy and glad that we were united safe and sound! 


We then decided to just have waffles and go back to the airport and get the van cause we still had a four hour drive to Boston. We started driving and after about 1/2 hour Casey was getting tired and I was so tired too. The kids were all crashed. We decided to pull over and sleep in the car for a little bit because that was the safest option. I slept for about 1/2 hour and then I couldn't sleep anymore so I drove for some time while Casey slept some more and then we traded. We got to Derick and Cat's house at about 2:00am and all we did was get to bed. But we made it! We were grateful for protection all along the way.
