Departing

Every year, we travel down with a bit of home in our bags...

cheese, wine & syrup.

The end of vacation has come, and finds us all exhausted.

At the start of vacation, the kids are clamoring for more, more, more:

more pool, more ocean, more seafood, more sand castles.

And by the end, sweet bites of all kinds of new pleasures behind us,

they are clamoring to go home to our yellow house.

Now all that intervenes is the 1,300 mile trip homeward.

We pack hurriedly after an early morning expedition to the beach for sunrise

and the Lost Dog for seafood for breakfast.

And are already looking forward to our beds in Louisville hotel tonight!
