Last, Last, Last.....

So many "last" things to do....  After leaving Beckiland we headed home and I did some more packing and we waited for Iva to arrive.  The kids were excited to see Iva just as they are every Friday night.  They were extra excited because Petra was also coming to say good-bye to the kids and Watson.  They arrived and not only to Iva and Petra come but also Iva's son, Michal came as well to say good-bye to Watson.  They have watched Watson over the last 4 1/2 years and have really taken to him as a family pet and with Petra moving out of Iva's house Michal didn't get to see him as often so he wanted one last time to say good-bye as well.  It is nice to know that Watson has been so loved while we were traveling.  Petra did break down and started crying but as Iva was having none of it Petra was able to pull it together.  Jason and I said goodbye to Petra and Michal and headed out for a last dinner at our Italian restaurant.  We had debated if we would go there on our last Friday or if we would stay closer to home but since the owners invited us back for out last dinner on the house we couldn't pass it up.  We had a fantastic dinner as usual and I held it together until the end...leaving our Italian home away from home put me over the edge and I finally let a few tears fall.  Funny the things that tip the balance.  If I'm ever back in Prague you can be sure I will be having dinner at Cicala!  We came home and said our final good-bye to Iva which was also difficult since she has really been like a grandmother to the kids and a mother to us while we have been in Prague.  I finished up my last hours packing all the last minute things and finally got in bed about 1am and up at 5:15am to catch our early morning flight out of Prague.
