But Andy had worked the night shift on
Friday, and I had was sick with a stomach bug (again!) all night long,
so we were both excruciatingly exhausted by the time was arrived at
my parents house at 10pm, and barely made it through a light dinner before needing to head to bed.
Our flight to LaGuardia was perfect, we
found the shuttle quickly, and we boarded our bus with five minutes
to spare. All of these things I had never done before, and I must
say, it's somewhat empowering to successfully navigate your way
around an extremely large city.
We will spend the next three days in
Pennsylvania visiting with my family, and then we will finish our
spring break in New York. I'm looking forward to spending some
quality time with them, some of whom I haven't seen in the past year.
In truth, I couldn't wait to get out of the small town that I grew up in. I moved to the middle of the country to get as far, far away as I could, though I always saw myself coming back to the east coast someday. I guess I feared that the town would suck me in and I would be trapped there forever. Is that how most people feel about their hometowns?
But I miss my people, my family. They are what make homecomings so beautiful. I'm not sure if I have any other nostalgia for this place.
We'll see what the next few days hold.
