I was really nervous about dealing with the 7 hour time change going to Germany and back, but the kids adjusted surprisingly well. Our initial flight to Chicago was delayed 7 hours (or rather, it was delayed "a bit longer" about eight times). Fortunately we just made the best of it and had fun in the Sioux Falls airport. By the the time we left, it was late and we were exhausted. Charlie slept through all three flights (we were detoured through London due to our missed connection). By the time we got to Charlotte's it was 10:00 and we all just crashed for the night and woke up ready to go the next day.
Coming back was more tiring for me even though it was a shorter trip. Charlie took a little longer to adjust, waking up at 2:30 the first morning (then going back to sleep at 3:00) and 5:30 the next. But between the jet lag and days filled to the brim with sightseeing, walking and visiting, we were all pretty tired by the end of the day throughout the trip...in a good way, though. Here are a few shots of the kids in various stages of passed out (and one of Charlie wide awake long past his bedtime).
