Happy Friday friends!! I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back home from almost 2 weeks away. Admittedly, I was hoping to get at least one more blog post up while I was away, but at the request of my husband to just relax, I did just that and shared A LOT of our vacation via InstaStories! I have so many travel guides coming up in different varieties, but before getting into them I did want to share a few of my favorite things that happen when you come home from a long vacation!!
Your Own Bed & Shower ||
Your Own Bed & Shower ||
Stay tuned for a Bed & Breakfast review of the White House Inn in Napa
So hotels are fun and everything, but there is nothing quite like coming home and sleeping in your own bed. Same thing goes for your own shower – you’re just used to the water pressure that you get & have a set routine of where everything “lives.” We were in 6 different hotels & airBnB’s on this trip which is a lot, so not feeling like we are living out of a suitcase is a very welcome change! The amount of laundry that was done yesterday is crazy to me!
Eating at home ||

Definitely going to miss brunches like this one from Bardonna though…
Eating out is alway nice in the beginning of a trip, but after about 2 weeks of not having a home cooked meal you start craving your usual dinners – the crock pot meals that were mundane a month or so ago are all I can think about now! Not to mention, my body thanks me when I eat at home! One thing we didn’t eat while we were on vacation was sushi!! I feel like I’m cheating on my sushi place here in Boston if I eat anywhere else, so we definitely had that yesterday for dinner!
Routines ||

Picked up a few more ofmy favorite pens
Oh how I have missed my routine. The walk from the train to work, talking to my family without a three hour difference, watching my shows on TV & honestly getting to the gym is something that I enjoy!! I made a “to-do” list on our last night in San Francisco & I can’t tell you how good it felt to actually use a pen & paper to write something down!! I’m a creature of habit & very happy to be back to my routine!
What are some of the things you love to come home to after a trip? Hope you have a great weekend & I hope you come back Monday for a travel diary of one of my favorite cities I’ve ever visited!
Welcome home beautiful! Does my heart good to know you had this opportunity to relax, you deserve the sweet downtime and love this home sweet home edition! You're right, amazing to vacay but nothing like home. I'm a routine girl too so get it 100%! Enjoy the weekend and be cozy in your abode!!! xo
I agree with all of those! I love being on vacation so much but I also crave the consistency of home after a while. I loved watching your IG stories of CA!

I agree with all of these! There truly is no place like home!
Traveling to new places is awesome in so many ways but I agree with you, there is no place like home! I usually can't wait to get home to the comfort of having everything I need around me. When you are away you make do. Can't wait to read the travel diaries!

I loved following along on IG stories and it made me so excited for our trip to CA in May. It's nice that you took time to relax. I know what you mean, traveling and vacation are great but there is nothing like your own bed and being back in your routine. Looking forward to all the posts, happy Friday!

Welcome back! Yes to all of these things above. My body thanks me when I am home too 😁
As much as I love to travel (and oh I do!!) there is nothing quite like being back home & in your "groove"! Welcome back & I can't wait to read all about your amazing trip!
I feel you on being happy to be back in your own bed! I haven't slept in my own bed since Sunday and I slept SO good last night now that I'm home! And can we talk about how I probably would have stolen those pillows from your hotel? Haha! Happy Friday love! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Sounds like you had the best vaca! I agree, coming home to my own bed is probably top on my list! Happy Friday!
Sounds like a nice trip! Happy Friday!

Being away always makes you appreciate what you have at home right?! I'm glad you were able to just unplug and each other! It looked like an amazing trip.
There really is nothing like coming home! I mean, I love a good vacation, and not having to do dishes…but home is home 🙂 I am so glad you guys had a great time! And that you got in some relaxation time! Cheers to the weekend!
I totally get it! Vacations are awesome but I am such a home body and love my routine!
I am with you, there is nothing like your own bed and routines!!! Traveling is fun and all, but if I'm going too long I start getting homesick. Such a homebody over here lol. I really enjoyed all your instastories though! Looks like you guys had a ton of fun!
LOVED following along on your trip via InstaStories! It looked just heavenly and so glad y'all got some time away to relax!
Welcome back!! Your trip looked amazing and I can't wait to hear all the details! I totally agree, it's always such a great feeling being back in your own bed!
Welcome back! I loved following your trip on Instagram! It looked amazing! Yes, there's nothing quite like sleeping in your own bed! I'm so with you on that! Hope you have a great weekend:)

Welcome home! There is seriously NOTHING like your own shower!!! And I should have place money on you having sushi last night! I'm not sure how they survived without you for 2 weeks! 😉 Happy Friday doll! Hope the first day back is easy and you are able to fully catch up this weekend! XOXO, R
Yay for being home and getting to sleep in your own bed!! That's kind of like "taking your bra off at the end of the day!!" Lol – glad y'all had a great trip! Hope you have an awesome weekend!!!

I'm glad you had a great time traveling these past couple of weeks, but I can definitely understand missing home after a while. When traveling for a week, about the 5th day, I start feeling it and start missing all the things you've mentioned, my bed, my shower, everything! I look forward to your travel guide on Monday, I know you'll share some beautiful photos, tips, and some good food, haha! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful and well rested weekend, beauty!

Coming home can be the best part of a vacation, no matter how great the trip is! Can't wait to read more about your travel diary!!
I loved seeing all of your snaps and photos on insta & can't wait to hear about your trip in more detail!
While I don't like departure day, I could not agree more with you!! I hope that you have a fun and relaxing weekend. 🙂
Welcome home!! Traveling is such fun but coming back to your home is the best! I'm so excited to hear the details of your trip!
Welcome home! Can't wait for all the travel guides to come and I'm totally with you on eating out everyday, my body hates me when I do! Have a good weekend home 🙂

There really is no place like home – I always love getting back & into the swing of things!! Your trip looked amazing – loved following along on Instagram!
Happy Friday! I love traveling but there is just something about coming back to your own space. I'm so glad you were able to relax. I can't even believe you were able to post while you were away—that's dedication girl! I loved seeing so much about your trip and all of the fun places you visited. Have a great weekend!

I'm a sucker for routine. I really get thrown being off work for a week – I think my world would explode being gone for 2 weeks 😉 haha Hope you settle back into life easily. Enjoy that shower & bed of your own!
I am a creature of habit, too. I can totally relate. I love pens/markers – so I am going to check out your favorite pens.

All of the above are the exact things that I most look forward to after being gone on a trip for a long time! It's amazing how much you can even just miss the smell of your house after you haven't been home in a long time. I hope that you enjoy your weekend home and can get back into your routines!
That's exactly how I feel after a long trip! Can't wait to come back on Monday and read your travel diary!
Amen to this entire post! You don't realize how much you miss even though it's always fun to get away! Hope y'all have a great weekend friend!
Your vacay looked like so much fun. But coming home is so nice. Love all the photos girl!
Welcome home, friend! It looks like you guys had the best time, but there's no place like home!
I agree, traveling is so much fun but nothing beats coming back home to your routine, bed, and eating schedule especially after 2 weeks. Can't wait to read all of your travel recaps and good to hear you took the time to relax and spend time with the hubby! Love the scenery in the first photo so I know you have some good stuff coming on the blog. Enjoy the weekend!!
Such a great read! Traveling is a lot of fun, but it can never beat home!!

Welcome home!!! I know the own bed thing… been there for sure! It's nice to settle into your own bed! I love those pens, too. 😉
Welcome home, girl! Like you said, vacation is great but there's nothing like your own bed and familiar surroundings. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures!
Sounds like an amazing trip Biana! I loved following along and can't wait to hear more:) welcome home girl.

oh yes to your own bed and shower. i like a lot of blankets and hotels never have enough to make me fully comfortable lol. my routine is definitely something i miss as well and can't wait to get back to. also being able to do laundry and put things away, that's pretty fabulous too lol
I feel ya girl – vacation is SO amazing but there is nothing quite like being HOME! 🙂
agreed on all counts..
somebody once told me half the point of a vacation is to love more the life you have, the home you have.. a vacation gives us the opportunity to miss home.
I missed the same things you did when we were away. I had the best time, but making dinner last night was great. It is great how you love vacation, but nothing beats the comfort of home.
