I haven’t been to my hometown since the Summer before the pandemic hit and shutdowns began. The way there, though a bit changed, was still as familiar as ever.
We had a really slow and relaxing morning. Took our time waking up, getting ready. The kids are pretty practiced with long rides and it was the least stressful road trip ever.
My two favorite activities for long trips, although the reading doesn’t last long these days. The kids took naps and watched the trees go by. My husband loves the city I’m from about as much as I do. We lived here for a couple of years, when we became a family of four. We honeymooned here when it was just us. I love that he loves it.
Our last stop before settling in at my mom’s was a Greek diner just across the street. Very popular around here. Memories of the years my kids were very little and the many times we ate here. It feels good to be home.
