There was a distinct sence of change and emptiness in what i had remembered as "home" even tho not much had changed with my actual family.
I didn't like this feeling, so much so that for subsequent summers i made sure i had other plans either working somewhere or traveling somewhere that i didn't return "home" for the summer break.

Yeah, the group of friends I usually hang out with has undergone a bit of a change. Not in that they've changed or that they're not here (although some of them are at summer school), but we're less likely to hang out. I broke up with my boyfriend, who has the same group of friends, pretty recently and I think the group is uncomfortable with the situation or maybe he told them that he was and therefore I can't really hang out with them. Anyways, I guess the point of this is that maybe you're right about not coming home in the summer. Maybe next year I'll do summer school or find some thing else to do that doesn't involve returning home. Home just isn't home anymore.
