this post is originally from Easter 2009 but I am linking to Reluctant Entertainer in 2010 for an Easter memory

I got all giddy inside this week over my new
Southwest frequent flier card with my new married name on it.
Travel books are one of my favorite genres.
I love to experience new places.
But . . .
this "Travel Tuesday" is a little different.
It's about traveling home.
Because, of all the great places there are in the world,
where else can you play in a box from the new water heater?
and spend your first married Easter together?
and appreciate the beauty of a plastic egg in the crook of a tree in your uncle's garden. Different garden, new house, but same uncle and same memories from that Easter when you were a child and you hunted eggs in his garden?
and where else can you be together?
and appreciate the wonder?
and walk barefoot in the yard?
and be with the boy?
and giggle with your grandparents?
HOME!
Thank you wonderful family for always being there! No matter where the path leads, we're family and home is not as much a place as it is the tie that binds.

I love that first photo.
You're so right... traveling is a delight, but traveling home to family and memories, love and laughter is the best trip of all.
What a sweet post! You are right - nothing beats a trip to see family.
You made me cry, Kelly. I have always been just a little envious and wished that I could live in the same city as my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. You have such a great family and I have been so blessed to be able to grow up watching all of you together. It was the next best thing to having that myself.

You really do bring joy into my day! I find myself a little bit happier once I've read your blog. I just can't read your blog and NOT smile. It really does give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Thanks for sharing your sundrenched moments with us!
What a beautiful, beautiful post. Thanks for thinking home is so special. It is always more special when you are in it.
What a wonderful post! There's no place like home.
Simply lovely. Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts on home. And thank you for joining us in unwrapping Tuesday :)
So sweet. I love the pictures from inside the boxW Great perspective.

Sweet post! I love it.
Goosebumps. Sweet post, sister. I even got a little tear in my eye (I think it's because I was listening to Allison Krauss in the background). LOVE YOU!
Ah, yes, love this post. And think how differently next Easter will be with a little one! So fun ... Thanks for linking up at RE Kelly!
