Our vacation wasn’t like this.

We didn’t have a GoPro.

No one colored us with colorful chalk.

We didn’t run around.

We didn’t run around….but man, we sure did cover a lot of ground in a Dodge minivan with 200,000 miles on the odometer.

I don’t know if it would have been more exciting if we had been able to use a GoPro.

Up to Niagara Falls on the Canada side….on to Toronto….then Montreal….then back to the States….Vermont….New Hampshire….Maine….Massachusetts….Connecticut….New York….Pennsylvania…Maryland….West Virginia….Virginia….on and on…until we rolled up our driveway and opened our house up again after being away for 8 days.

I doubt that a GoPro would have made it more exciting.

“Going” is a beautiful thing.

I love to go.

But, man….I do love to come back home again….open the windows….mow the lawn….cook something in my own kitchen….sleep in my own bed.

That’s a good thing….to have a home to come home to.

That makes all the traveling that much better.

Home is a good thing.
