Our trip! We flew out of Houston on July 4th. Jim & Gail were gracious enough to take us and pick us up from the airport. We got there in time for a quick cheesecake birthday celebration!
Us with our stuff. We traveled pretty light, had to do a bit of laundry there and brought back clothes we didn't wear-long sleeves and swimsuits. The weather was wonderful, mostly 70s!
On the plane! We had three and one for this long leg. We got served lots of food, watched movies and slept a decent amount. Once the tv was on the girls didn't bother looking out the window much, but we did fly over lots of islands and ice.
Frozen brings the world together. While we were waiting at the Moscow airport a little girl came up to us and watched Lydia & Gloria play with their Frozen activities. She said Hi and I said do you speak English and she said Nyet. But she pointed and said Anna & Elsa and then came and played with Gloria for the next 20 minutes! Next leg was a short one and we were two and two. Gloria and I sat by a lady who was an English translator, so we had a nice chat.
The whole family was waiting for us and we got all our bags and got into their van and had a humorous exit to the airport, cars were pulled all over everywhere to pay their ticket and there was some honking. We drove through the beautiful city to their apartment where Catherine had a crockpot of dinner waiting. They have a hamster which got a lot of love! Gloria and Abigail were wearing matching clothes unplanned!
We gave the kids matching pjs, the kids went to sleep and then adults were in bed around 11pm and the sun was still shining.
A very pleasant and easy trip to get there. Overall the kids were great.
