We just got back from visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and four year old granddaughter in the Washington, DC area. We had a great time! We’ve been fortunate to be able to use our Portal to “see and hear” them each week, but I have to say, there’s nothing like holding our granddaughter. My husband and I wish we could bottle that feeling!
We lived in the DC area years ago when my husband was in the Air Force. What a great area to live in. Now we’re “re”-enjoying Fall festivals, the Baltimore Aquarium, the Smithsonian, the parks all over the place, etc. with our granddaughter. It’s like having a déjà vu experience… sort of a bittersweet sensation — experiencing all of these fun activities with one of our children whom we visited these spots with when she was a four years old, as well as her own daughter who is now the same age!
We’re lucky to have our son who lives fifteen minutes away from our home in San Antonio. He’s so good about taking care of our eight year old “puppy” while we’re gone.
So, it’s good to be home – even though we miss our DC family!
