Day 14 - Homeward bound

Flying home today. Packing is always fun when you have done a fair amount of shopping and end up squeezing into the cases only to find not enough space and having to borrow a case from our hosts! Oops.
We finally got packed and left early. 2 stops on the way should still mean plenty of time to get to the airport in plenty of time.
It has taken me a few days to finish this post and blog. The flight home was a real anticlimax. We had made our home in Ste Genevieve and had enjoyed the company of our famil to across the pond and the travel home is always the downer at the end of the holiday. 
It has been nearly 4 days since we landed back home and I am still exhausted. The jet lag and lack of sleep on the plane meant that my body clock is completely all over the place.
We have all taken this week to try and get back to a routine but currently all struggling but our adventure as a family was amazing.
For me the highlight must have been completely falling in love with baseball ⚾ and the cardinals. My perception of the sport versus what we experienced we al came away with this feeling.
We had an amazing experience in the US. Our hosts must also be getting over having the Cooper clan in their house for so long and making sure we were suitably entertained. 
We learnt about food, customs, and how real life is both similar and different which we wouldn't have got from a resort or just staying in hotels.
