The Comfort of Coming Home
It’s the comfort of coming home that makes going away so much more meaningful
Yesterday, my fiancé and I returned home from a week-long camping trip in Maine.
We spontaneously planned this trip at the end of May, realizing that we needed some sort of vacation that didn’t require flying and was somewhat low maintenance and inexpensive.
We had been to Maine two years ago when we camped at Acadia National Park and loved it so much that we figured that it would be great to go back. Only this time, we stayed at a different campground just to change it up.
Now, you’d think that after being cooped up in the same place for nearly five months, with very limited contact with other people, we couldn’t be more excited to get out and get a change of scenery for a little while — and you’re exactly right.
We were ecstatic.
Since we’ve been home so much because of COVID-19, we were constantly connected to our electronic devices.
