We just returned from 2 weeks in the Emerald City. Side Note: I really do think it's the best city on this earth and traveling around the world has only strengthened this view.
We saw almost everyone and everything we wanted to. From a baby bump to new houses, a puppy, birthday parties, sporting games, happy hours and an engagement ring, we packed a lot in. The days felt like they were in fast forward while we were there. We were on a roller coaster of adrenaline and jetlag.
It was the perfect time to go back for a long visit.
Was it different? Do we miss it more now? Did it still feel like home?
For the most part Seattle has stayed exactly as we left it. The city has the same feel even though there are new restaurants and a slightly changing blueprint. The people are the same apart from new life experiences and different haircuts. The weather is the same although the sun has decided to come out this summer a little more frequently than others.
On the one hand, I miss our life in Seattle terribly. But on the other, I was so ready to come home to London.
I was delighted to read that you consider London your home. It means you and Aaron are settled and have developed a community of friends abroad. I loved spending time with you both over the last weeks, and look forward to the time when Seattle will again be "home". But it is clear that home is anywhere the two of you are together. That makes this Mom VERY happy. xo
