After almost two weeks of fun and excitement (ask Susan about her adventures in Paris, for example), Wayne and Susan left Germany this morning. the whole family drove with them back to Munich, and their flight left on time. By about 6 PM Indy time today, they should be back home.

As I mentioned, we had a lot of fun, and we visited many places during their short visit. I’ll start posting some of the pictures over the next few days.

Yeah, yeah, I know I said the same thing about our trip to Italy. Now that Mom and Dad have gone back home, though, I should have more time to finish up that project too!

Assuming I get done before the baby comes.

Our Italian Vacation Video

There are probably few things worse than watching someone else’s home videos, but decent production values and massive editing (read cuts) might help a little. It’s probably still a worse experience than having your wisdom teeth pulled without the aid of anesthesia, though.

One of the many reasons why I haven’t gotten all of the Italian vacation messages posted yet is that we’ve been working on such a video of our vacation. After a lot of work, we finally finished the layout just before my parents arrived for their visit.

We picked out our favorite video clips and pictures from the vacation, set the whole thing to music, and created an 18 minute and 6 second documentary of the trip. Yeah, it’s really that long.

We think it turned out pretty well. The girls like to watch it, especially the parts at the pool and the beach.

[Update, January 9th, 2009]
In order to make the video available on YouTube, I had to split it into 2 pieces. You can watch them embedded here, or you can go directly to youtube to see them. It might be worth your while to go there, since you can choose to view the “high quality” version. The embedded version can only be viewed in youtube’s “standard quality” mode, whereas you can select “high quality” mode if you go to youtube to view it directly.
