Bottom of the U Curve

I miss routine and normalcy in my life.  There is nothing like sitting in front of the tv and popping in Peppermint Patties into your mouth while watching Elf or Mary Poppins on repeat.  I have reached a point in my trip where I feel the need to immediately find a trip back to America instead grabbing the next train to Belgium.  People wonder why I am being such a sap but the truth is, is that places are not the same if you don't have great people to experience them with.  I have been taking trips with my best friend Kens but we both talked about how there are so many times when we travel, see phenomenal things and the only thing that comes into our minds is "man, i wish mom/dad/sister/brother were here to see this...".  Home is where the heart is.

I cruised photos and I thought I'd have an entry dedicated to things, people, times that I miss.  Ugh.
