The trip is over. You have a suitcase full of dirty laundry. Your kids are tired. You are tired. It's been fun but you are ready to go home. You want to take a bath and a nap. And maybe just do them at the same time.
We were a lot like that--grubby tired and really stinky. But the difference is we don't have a home. Well, we do...but it is all rented out to someone else for the year. Instead we were going to someone else's home. We had rented a place for two months. This is our longest stop of the year. Two full months on north part of the big island Hawaii.
Our home is so peaceful. Not only do we have a dishwasher and a washing machine we also have all of the pots and pans and cooking implements we are used to.
But even more than the six couches and lovely yards, this place feels like home because my family is here. My sister, my parents and my in-laws are all coming to visit over the next three weeks.
We unpacked our tiny little bags into the washing machine. We slept for roughly 12 hours. We went out for a walk under the now-familiar Hawaii stars. It feels good to be back. It feels good to be home.
