"California, California I'm coming home" Joni Mitchell
Home is where the heart is. Ours live on both coasts now.
We arrived home yesterday afternoon to a heat wave and awoke this morning to a thunderstorm so similar to those we experienced while traveling through the mid-west and on the East Coast. We joked that we brought the weather with us. It made us miss our kids.
The experience of taking a month out of our lives to make this journey, a month that was focused only on getting to and being with family, with no work and no other distractions was life changing. 2020 has been such a terrible year in so many ways, but July 15 - August 15, 2020 was perhaps the richest month of our lives.
Again, thank you our good friends and family for joining us. We can't wait to see you.
Terese and Thomas, I cannot explain how touched I have been with each one of your posts chronicling your cross country trip. What an experience you shared with all of us on your daily adventures. Also, your description of being grandparents brought tears to my eyes. You were able to explain the exact feelings I have for Landon. He brings absolute joy to our lives. I have thought about driving cross country at times but now more so since your trip. I might wait a bit but it is definitely on my bucket list. Glad you are back and that you had such a great adventure.
