To California and Back Again

Declan and I just spent a week in the Napa Valley. It is where I grew up and where my family lives. My mom, brother and nephew drove up to get us and then we flew home yesterday.
It was a wonderful trip, where we got to see lots of friends and family and be pampered by my mom.

While I was there, I remember feeling nostalgic for that area and recalling fond memories of living there. It is a breathtakingly beautiful place and we were blessed with wonderful weather during our stay. It was great spending quality time with people I don't get to see very often. And Declan's Nonna (my mom) adored having us there.

I did miss Sean terribly and, on our last day there, I was anxious to get home. While the trip was wonderful, there is just no place like home, and wherever Sean is, that is home and that is where I want to be.
