Everywhere you go that is beautiful holds a special place in your heart. For me the city of Domburg, in the Netherlands is a place of magic (and scary seagulls). I can still hear the whooshing of the waves, the sound of the birds and the little dutch children yelling and laughing. I can still smell the saltwater , feel the breeze and taste the coconut ice cream we ate. I miss it. I’m ready to be there again.

I seriously think you must love your family a WHOLE lot to leave this place and come back to the US. : )
