“Land legs” refers to, the ability to regain balance and stability on solid ground after being on a ship, boat, or in motion for an extended period, essentially reversing the effect of “sea legs.” It is the process of readapting to a stable environment, which often leaves travelers feeling as though the ground is still rocking or swaying.
We are in the process of regaining our stability.
We made it home from Cambridge after a 2 hour bus ride to Heathrow, a 9 hour flight into Seatac (Seattle) and a 1 hour hopper to Spokane. Our son was waiting for us when we got off the plane a little after 9pm. The back seat of our car was decorated for a happy birthday greeting for me with crepe paper and balloons and there was a card for me from Addy and JJ. Such a sweet hello. Dan left his truck at our house so that he could drive us all the way home instead of us dropping him off at his house and then us continuing on home. Very thoughtful and very much appreciated since we were very tired after starting our journey 9am England time. (8 hours ahead of our Pacific Standard Time) If I’m figuring that out correctly, it means we were traveling for approximately 22 hours!
These are the sweet cards waiting for me when I got off the plane.
We got our hugs Sunday morning at church from Addy and JJ. It seems like they grew 6 inches since we saw them last!
We had a great trip but it is always so lovely to return to all the comforts of home and family.

What a nice “welcome home”! Traveling is so much fun, but also tiring, and it does take a while to get over jet lag.
Welcome back! You have such very thoughtful children!!

A 22 hour travel day, wow! What a blessing that your son took you all the way home. We’ve done that for our daughter when she’s been out of town and she’s always so grateful! Welcome home!

The cards are priceless.
