Missing PA

I don't know what it is, but lately I've really been missing PA. It's not like I have some super attachment to the place, I'm from Indiana! But, I've been thinking about it a lot lately and what we would be up to now if we still lived there.

 It's not like we had a lot of friends out there like we do here (although I will admit that I feel a little left out lately since I'm not able to stay home with my kids). I hated my job. It was expensive as heck and we were 10 hours away from our families (although once we moved two of my cousins moved within 2 hours of where we used to live, figures).

Maybe it's because I miss being so close to large cities and our little trips that we used to take.

The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania in the Endless Mountains

Or maybe it's because I miss being able to go into Center City to Reading Terminal Market. Or just to walk around in Old City amongst all of the history that is there. We never went to Fort Mifflin, someplace I really wanted to go. And the zoo, that was on the list too.

Or, as my husband just said, we knew PA as free people, without our children. So maybe that's it. I think I'm missing the sense of adventure we had while we were out there.

Or, I just really need a vacation :-)
