We travel back, but it just isn't the same.
For me it has to be the 4 seasons, not the snow and cold, but the change in weather, the fall colors that never seem to last long enough.
The farm fields in summer watching the crops progress from month to month, or the smell of freshly cut hay and miles of corn fields.

Moved to Clearwater area in 93 and to Villages in 2020. Left CT and never looked back. When we visit it feels like that state is stuck in a time warp, people my age have aged more, I don't really miss the acreage and barn I had anymore because I just think of the work to maintain it would be. My wife misses the Tampa Bay area shopping but not the North. Surely don't miss the weather. FL is the best thing we did for our health and longevity.
