We Made It!

We made it safe and sound! The flight was a delayed taking off for about 1 1/2 hours due to wind and rain that swept in right at 4pm (our flight time). But we still made it to Moscow around 10:15am. The weather here is beautiful! We are exhausted!!!!! We're going to head out for something to eat and then lights out for us by 6pm :)

Brad is getting picked up tomorrow morning by Vlad to go apply for Grace's passport. They will be going on the Metro. Vlad was very clear that it should just be Brad! You remember, he's the head and I'm the neck! I don't care to ride the metro anyway. I'll just stay in the room and play Bejeweled Blitz! (Yes, I convinced my husband to pay for internet in the room) Then we head to the orphanage to pick Grace up at 3pm. We have to go late due to traffic issues with the upcoming parade. At some point in there, we need to get some diapers and baby food.

Vlad's quote of the day:
"There are five things you need in life. 1. food 2. drink 3. sex 4. music 5. a sauna

BTW... who likes a sauna? does the word sauna mean something else in Russia.... kind of like, football means soccer in Europe.. Hopefully sauna means hot tub in Russia..

How did Brad make out today?? Another seinfeld episode:

Hope his metro trip is better than ours, lol! I can't wait to hear all about it...BTW, how is the Grand (don't you love it?) Hope everything else goes smoothly, you guys deserve something to go smoothly. Tell Brad that he is a God send for keeping that picture all these months. Lorien no longer had it.
