Carrying money across a border?

I am college student and traveling with my father to Europe for visit.

As US citizens, are we allowed to bring $9000 back, each, to US without declaring it, coming on the same flight? I understand that a family traveling together can carry up to $10000 without declaring , but since I am over 18 do I count as 'family' separately from my father?

    If any individual person carries the amount of $10,000 or more (coins, cash, personal or cashier's check, traveler's checks, money orders, stocks, bonds) s/he must fill a seperate Customs Form 4790. A consolidated amount per family does not apply; a seperate declaration is not neccessary if each of you carries $9,000.
