There is no place like home

These travels have taught be a wonderful lesson. No matter where you grew up, there truly is nothing like coming home.
People from NYC will swear the city is the best with all its culture and diversity. Folks from the country love the quiet and the trees. Ocean dwellers would never want to leave the water and views. Everyone who lives in warmer weather swears they could never live near snow. Northeasterners want their seasons come hell or high water.
So, who is right? Where is the best place to live?  Where should kids be raised? Where are people the happiest and healthiest? Who is right?
Everyone.
Most people live somewhere for their own particular reasons. They can't imagine having it any other way. And they are right.
We saw a lot of cool places on this trip, places that were more than livable to us. But....we thought about family and what home was for us. We thought about the trees and water and crazy seasons we love. We thought about how everyone comes together after a blizzard. We thought about being paid in free range chicken, knowing everyones name in town and being pulled out of a muddy road by the neighbors tractor. We know the smells, the sounds and sights of this place we have called home since birth;  New England.
We just don't want it any other way and it feels so right to all of us.
