On Tuesday, it was time for everyone to head home. The St. Louis team had to get on the road early in order to start their 10+ hour drive and we all had to be out of the condo by 10 am. We got everything packed, team StL sent on their way, and we headed out. We had a few hours to kill before our flight left so we decided to stop for breakfast.

We stopped by the Donut Hole for one more breakfast before we left. We had a short wait, but we didn't mind, we knew it was worth the wait. After a week of heavy eating, we just ordered donuts, coffee, and hashbrowns, but it was still delicious. We also picked up a souvenir Donut Hole mug for Mike and it made it home safely.

We headed to the airport, successfully returned our rental car, and started our series of waits. Both of our flights were on time and everything was smooth sailing. When we finally landed in Austin, we grabbed our luggage, found our car, and headed to pick up our sweet pup. He had a wonderful visit with Cotton, Linda, and Eric and we were so thankful that they were able to watch him. We visited with them for a little bit before heading home. We got home and crashed-the true sign of a great vacation. We all had a great time and were so thankful for our wonderful trip.
