It's strange how a scent can instantly transport me to another time or place. For instance, sometimes it's the suncreen lingering on my swimsuit when I open my drawer. I forget everything else going on in the present, and can suddenly almost hear the waves and feel the sun. Yesterday it was a new bottle of Aveeno body wash my mom got me when I was sick. It smells just like a dried flower store in my one of my favorite places in the world, Brown County, Indiana. I spent much of my morning day dreaming I was there. Time at the state park, breakfast or lunch at the Hobnob, shopping on Main Street, snickers fudge, strawberry coke, the porch swing at the Snoozing Moose, our little caboose we stayed in at our best family vacation ever...
I sure would like to be there today. It's been about 20 months since I was there last time. It was our first vacation with just me, Eric and the boys (I was pregnant with Trey). It's been too long. Time to go back.
