Final Posting from Thailand

We hope everyone had fun reading about our Thailand trip over the past three weeks. We have had an incredible trip, but unfortunately today is our last day here and we are headed back to the US this evening. We just finished packing our luggage with all sorts of gifts and keepsakes from Thailand. The past two days we layed low by finishing up some last minute shopping as well as saying good bye to a lot of family. This was one of the best trips I have taken and couldn't have asked for more. We will each post some final impressions of Thailand once we get home, but, in the meantime, here are some pictures of our final days here.

See everyone in the US soon! We will also be stopping by Silverbrook to see Murphy and his training progress!

We will also be going on a diet from the all the constant eating we did on this trip.  I think I may have gained ten pounds.
