He's Home! But His Luggage Isn't...

A couple weeks ago, we sent Jacob off on the trip of a lifetime.  To Israel.  Since taking a break from college and moving home, we've gotten used to his presence (and humor) again, so it felt really strange when he was gone these past 10 days.  We didn't go through near as much milk or cereal, either. We really missed him, even if his sisters try to disagree.

Reading newspapers while hanging out in the Dead Sea.

On their last day in Israel, they were up all day touring, and then flew out of Tel Aviv at midnight on an 11-hour flight (4pm our time).  Thanks to bad weather in NY, they experienced a cancelled flight, delays, and also had to split up the group to get everyone home to Nebraska at various times.

The first thing on Jacob's list to purchase was a bottle of Mountain Dew.  According to him, he's really...I mean, REALLY...missed his 3 major food groups:  Steak, Bacon, and Mountain Dew.  Tonight would be a bad time to try grilled lamb in Pita bread with lots of veggies and hummus.

I'm anxious to see all his photos and hear all his stories.  He's anxious for his luggage to arrive.  I'd better finish up my laundry before he takes over the washing machine later today.
