Quick Trip

Last week about this time Mark ask if I wanted to go see my family in NC for the weekend. 

Of Course! 

I was excited but a little hesitant @ first b/c I knew I'd be flying by myself, but I really wanted to get down there. It had been a while sense last time I was there.

Thank you American Airlines for a good deal on some tickets and good service. The girls and I were down there Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some time w/ family - and in the sun on the beach - for a few days. It was a nice visit, and relaxing as well. That I was thankful for the most. 

While driving around down there, it was a bit of a strange feeling having grown up there and now to live in a place so very different. Kaia's first comment when we got in the car was

'look at all the trees' 

You know your a city girl when . . . .  My parents thought it was a funny thing to say, but when you don't see trees like the NC pines it is a little odd. 

A part of me really misses living in that area. I found myself thinking of my years growing up there. I was thinking of the way I grew up and how different of an area my own girls will grow up in. Going home can do that I guess. 

I'm love where we live - I love that my girls will grow up w/ so much diversity. I'm thankful that my husband has a good job and that we can live here and I don't have to work. I'm not sure it would be that way if we lived anywhere else. 

I guess Dorthy said it best 'there's No place like home, There's no place like home'

How do you feel about your home town and how it shaped the person you are today?
