Traveling to Chicago two weeks back to back gave me some great food for thought on what it is like for Jon when he's gone. I've always thought I got the better end of that deal and now I know some more specifics. Sleeping at home is always better than sleeping in crappy hotel air conditioning. Eating home cooked meals is always better than eating fast food in airports. And most importantly, seeing these two crazy smiling faces in person is always better than only hearing their voices on the phone.
I'm glad we got a chance to switch roles so we could each understand the positives and negatives of a traveling spouse, but I am even more glad to be at home sweet home back in our normal routine.

Glad you enjoyed your trip! And you are right - it is always better to be the one at home than the one on the road WISHING you were home!
I'm glad you are back home! How did Jon like being you?
Alex's hair has gotten so light over the summer (or maybe its just that picture) but I think that is the most alike I have ever seen them look.
I would be curious how Jon liked being home while you traveled as well. Welcome back!
Hooray for being home -- and I want to know how Jon liked being the at-home parent for the trip!
Haha I wish I knew the other side of it. TH has had to travel more than usual this past year and when he calls me and I can hear people (adult people) laughing and talking in the background, I'm always jealous. Of course it doesn't help that since J was born over 4 years ago I've spent a grand total of TWO WEEKENDS away from home. I wonder how TH will do when I'm gone 2 weekends in a row in October...
It was a wonderful (but too short) meeting. I think you made it home just in time...Chicago was flooded!
