Home Sweet Home

Cee Jem pulled into Port Credit on Sunday afternoon at 4.
Arriving home was a bit surreal. Everything was familiar, not much had changed. It was as if home had gone into hibernation with the winter cold, and was reemerging again with spring. Sure, our friends kids are bigger, some houses in the neighbourhood have been renovated, our car is a bit rustier than when we left. But overall, life at home is much the same.
That being said, just as it took some time to adjust to life on the boat, it will take us a while to settle in back home. Everybody is super-vigilant about turning lights off; I have many times tried to use the (non-existant) foot pump in our kitchen to pump fresh water for cooking; I wake up in the night, look out our bedroom window wondering why there are trees outside the porthole so close to our boat.
We don't yet know what this trip has meant for our family, how our girls are different because of it. In reality, we will never know. What we do know is that we wouldn't trade our experience for anything.

In the coming days we will post more pictures and thoughts on the adventure.
Plus, I plan to continue to update the blog from time to time, so that family as well as friends we met along the way can continue to follow our future adventures.
