Heading Home
If you follow me on instagram it probably seems like we have fully moved to embraced our holiday in Italy. It was a long trip, but in the best way possible. We loved every second of the sea, sun, food, and history, but it’s the best feeling when a trip is winding down and you know you’ll be so happy at home too.
I’ve brought this up so many times in past posts — young kids don’t need too much to be happy, but it’s the adults that take everything to the next level. Well that’s sort of the case on this trip too. Of course our kids enjoyed being in Sicily for vacation, but the highlights, if you ask them, are things like: the random farm kitty that visited us daily, the many cups of granita and gelato, and the pool. Guess what?!? We could have been in a dinky town in the USA without traveling as far and I think they would have still had the “best day ever” as they so often proclaim after life’s simple pleasures.
A friend of mine recently took her 3 kids to Boston for a family trip and they did so many fun things. When asked what their favorite part of the vacation was, they said it was seeing the racoons that were out scavenging on their porch. HAhahahaha it just goes to show, the change of scenery is often for the adults’ benefit. The kids really just need quality time with us, plus some easy “treats.”
After the pay wall: staple toiletries I travel with particularly in the summer,
what I didn’t buy, but perhaps you should, and what I did buy.
