Trying To Settle Back In

Why is it that vacations go by so very quickly? Too bloody quickly in fact. When you say goodbye at the airport it really drills it home that living so far away from your family is far from a perfect situation. Still, it makes for good trips across the pond with lots of catching up to do.

So for the past 10 days we all had a really good time. My parents got to meet my better half and her little one, we toured around Arizona in a seven person minivan, pictures were taken, beer drank, stories told, and embarrassing photos from my youth were passed around.

(honestly I swear it was ok in Europe to wear speedos as a teenager, it was, it really was)

It's going to take me more than a few days to wade through all the pictures I took, some have already trickled onto Flickr and more will be there soonish.
