Back to the USA

Our return to the U.S. as uneventful, and predictable:

• We found the train to the airport, and (it being Germany) it was on time.
• We got to Munich Airport early, and (it being Germany) were able to enjoy one last Kellerbier in the outdoor Biergarten between Terminals A and B.
• Our flight from Munich to the U.S. (it being Germany) departed on time, and we arrived at Newark Airport early.
• Our connecting flight to Richmond (it being Newark Airport, and not Germany) was delayed 3 times and actually departed about 2 1/2 hours late.
• Our shared salad, single beer, and glass of wine at the only restaurant in the A Terminal (it being Newark Airport, and not Germany) cost more than our amazing dinner the night before in Munich.
• The A Terminal (it being Newark Airport, and not Germany) was a balmy 90 degrees F with 90 percent humidity.  There we sat and steamed for roughly 5 hours before boarding the plane and sitting on the tarmac for another hour.

So Adam picked us up with a sleeping Mason in the back seat (they'd spent the day at Busch Gardens) around 10:30PM instead of 8:00.  But we got home fine, with luggage and intact, if tired.

Postscript, from my dad.  Check out what's featured in yesterday's Washington Post Travel section:
