summer vacation 2015: home sweet home

We have been home since Monday evening, but I am still mostly operating in a fog. Last night I woke only once--at 3:30 a.m.--and am feeling better rested than I have all week. Re-entry is nearly as difficult as dealing with jetlag when traveling abroad. Plus, I'm trying to stay in the vacation headspace as long as I can, both to remember all the details and to stay relaxed.

While we were away, the bike/walk path on the St. Paul side of Mississippi River Boulevard was re-paved. August and I have already explored. We also noticed evidence that summer will soon end. I'm not ready.
