It has been a very long time since I have visited HOME. Despite being in Washington for 7.5 years and Texas for 3 years, neither ever feels like home. So...it was great to be back. Traffic wasn't as bad as I remember it. Maybe it has improved, or perhaps I've mellowed out. I remembered my way around like I never left.
I miss the views of the water and being close to family. I stayed with Gary & Cynthia and was *finally* was able to meet Alexander (4) & Nicholas (2). I also spent some quality time with Vito, Anna Marie and Aunt Francis.
And...in case you're wondering...YES...Gary still smells and looks funny.
