Returning from a seaside holiday \ud83c\udfd6\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc66\u200d\ud83d\udc66<\/p>\n
After a good stretch of the journey, with two passengers having properly dozed off, the second half of the trip begins, when the \u201cAre we there yet?\u201d question buzzes around like an annoying fly. So we spark a conversation:<\/p>\n
\u201cWHAT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED DURING HOLIDAY?\u201d<\/p>\n
Do starts:<\/p>\n
I finally saw the Parnidis dune.
\nAnd I also bought an amber bracelet,- he waves his hand with the very expensive souvenir as he explains his thoughts.
\nAnd I finally learned to do a handstand \u201csun pose\u201d,- interrupts his brother Pa, not waiting for his turn.
\nAnd I was brave. When Do threw a jellyfish on my head, I didn\u2019t cry.
\nAnd the necklace\u2014new ones\u2014gripped between my fingers, the highest quality jewelry.
\nDad twirls his mustache, clearly thinking about his own best moment.<\/p>\n
I got sunburned on my stomach,- he laughs.
\nAnd you, Mom? What about you???
\nI stay quiet, thinking what my \u201cwow\u201d moment was.<\/p>\n
You found the amber your sister later lost,- remembers Do.
\nAnd got sunburned just the way you like it,- adds Pa.
\nAnd you weren\u2019t afraid of jellyfish.
\nAs we chat, we drive into Vilnius. To make sure the journey through the city isn\u2019t boring, another question floats in the air:<\/p>\n
And what\u2019s the best thing in Vilnius?
\nGediminas Castle!!!!- shouts the backseat crew in unison.
\nAnd what else?
\nSilence. Thoughts clearly swirling in little heads.<\/p>\n
Maybe your boutique,- Do raises his eyebrows after a pause.
\nAnd grandparents\u2026- adds Pa, already out of the car and engrossed in Grandma\u2019s garden produce.
\nNidut\u0117. Parnidis dune. Amber beads. Handstand \u201csun poses.\u201d Jellyfish chases. Dunes. Waves like walls. Ferry. Pebbles. Piles of shells. Kites. Lifeguard flags. Diving.<\/p>\n
Gediminas Castle. Mom\u2019s boutique. Grandparents. Bunches of tomatoes. Handfuls of strawberries. Carrot bundles. Blackberry handfuls. Cucumbers with fresh honey. Home. Missed Bosas. Own bed. Pillow for the softest dreams. Missed toys.<\/p>\n
Everywhere is good.
\nAt home, with souvenirs and memories, is the best.<\/p>\n
