It's the perfect time of year when we're really sick of the snow and need a getaway. We need to rejuvenate and feel the warmth on our skin. We're not lacking the Vitamin D but just some temperature above O Celsius is a nice feeling.
By the end of February, I'm feeling a little blue. The snow is melting to gray slushy mush and everything looks dirty. So, we pack up the kids and find the "best for your dollar" all-inclusive in the Caribbean. But this year, it's a little different. Instead of packing swimming suits and flip flops, we packed thermal underwears and skis(oh, as I type, my son reminds me of his snowboard, too). We head to the mountains to enjoy a "cool" vacation filled with activities we know to make the winters go fast in Montreal. (Skiing, skating, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hmmm, I detect a pattern, everything that starts with a "s").
Why?? Well, it's close to home and instead of heading out with thousands other Quebecois families, who are heading South, we'll wait for their return and do it in April. Besides, there'll be snow still on the ground and everyone's back to their daily life, but this time we'll be sitting on the beach. LOL!
The best part, my kids think we're the best for giving them 2 "vacations". (hehehe)
LOVE this!! Great first post Anna! Love the girls in their suits.. looks like it's a great time up north. : )
