Home from Panama

We are home...yes we arrived home Monday evening from our AWESOME trip to Panama! We wish we could have stayed longer, we enjoyed the weather and seeing Jon and Heidi so much! But, of course...work calls, as Chuck had to return back to work.

We enjoyed seeing all the sights of Panama City, it wasn't what we were truely expecting....Chuck has been telling everyone that there is a lot of America, but that probably b/c there was an American presence in Panama for many years.

Our trip included: visiting Heidi and her 4th grade classroom, which Allison had a ton of fun listening to the students read, we also toured the Panama Canal, Ancon Hill, a beach that was about 1 1/2 hrs from Jon and Heidi's home (can't remember the name of it), and we also explored the local market and picked up some souvenirs. I must say that we really had an awesome time and can't wait to go back!!! (maybe we'll try to go every year? if they'll have us that is)

We headed to the airport on Monday morning (early) and prepared for a long day in the air and airports. We were happy to be home after a very very long day of traveling! We have uploaded photos from the trip on our Picasa Web Album...just click the link that says photos and you can check them out!

The downside about coming home....is coming home to the little messes that were left behind, a bit of laundry here and there, dust, dog hair, etc! So yesterday was my "catch up" day, as I did about 5 loads of laundry, cleared out the dishwasher...and reloaded it, and sucked up all the dog hair/dust with my handy dandy vacuum cleaner!!

After all that work was done, Allison and I headed outside to play in such awesome weather.
Today is suppose to be a bit rainy....and Chuck just informed me that it is starting to sprinkle.

I suppose I should continue my day picking up odds and ends around the house. Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather...for now!
