Final day! Wasn't much of England in there today. Got up early at the Aurura International in Crawley and took in their amazing breakfast buffet. It's worth staying there for that alone.
Next we got to the airport super early, 'cause we're anal like that, and we looked around to see if there was any worthy last-minute shopping to do. We then had ice cream for 2nd Breakfast. From a vending machine. That's right.
The goal was to keep Ephraim awake and run him out so that we might get him to sleep during the flight. When all else failed he found his favourite place in all of England.
Ephraim slept for the first two hours of the flight and then was amazingly well behaved for the remainder of the flight. Emily and I were prepared for the absolute worst. We're luck to have a kid as well behaved as this one.
We got off the plane, got our luggage and called Park N Fly. They were speedy to get us back to our car, which was beautifull cleaned. Highly recommend the Park N Fly. On the way home it didn't take long for Ephraim to conk out in one of the most uncomfortable positions there is.
Emily's parents, Robert and Dale were waiting for us with supper at our home. They even went out of their way to make sure we had fresh fruit, eggs, milk, etc… for breakfast tomorrow. Full points to them for being so uber thoughtful.
So there's that. It was a really amazing trip, even though we're happy to be home. Thanks to all who followed this and sent along messages. Glad to have kept you entertained!
For the final picture, it's the thing I was teasing about earlier, the wedding favour that I helped out with just a smudge

Had a fabulous time reading ALL your blogs on Erik/Amy's amazing wedding & your pics were terriffic! U visited places we wanted to get to but didn't have time...nor the moxy to figure out those wierd round-a-bouts (x:). So great to c u again Amy & to meet the magical Ephraim & wonderful Jeremy. Wishing you a fantabulous life and much love; we got home safely too! Catherine/Patrick and Chloe from Gore's Landing, ON
Glad you enjoyed it Catherine! And it was a pleasure to meet you as well. Ephraim adored Chloe!
Awww but it was Saffron who gave Ephraim his first big smooch... too cute as Saffron drew him by his vest to give him a kiss. Female genetics are fascinating! Besides jet lag we were in a bus/car crash in Berlin on Aug. 18 at 3;30 p.m. ambulance /hospital/x-rays for me as I crashed into bus pole backwards, slid on the floor of the bus, cracked my pate on a step, couldn't breathe, 5 people hurt...following up with my Dr. tomorrow...very sore and stiff and irritable, getting requisition for brain scan and physiotherapy. Chloe and Pat OK tho Chloe's ankle was sore as I had apparently landed on her. Worse than roundabouts! Unfortunate accident but we LOVED Berlin no question - great people and wonderful City! C.
That's horrible! I mean, lovely that you enjoyed Berlin, but I can't even imagine having an accident in a foreign city. Yikes! Thank goodness for travel insurance, huh?
Hope you're recovering okay and that the irritability goes away, and glad that the accident wasn't worse!
