When Winter is Going on Just Too Long

Book your summer beach vacation.

Yesterday we had yet another snowstorm. Argh. The January thaw that saw us wearing spring jackets and tickling out toes in the grass was just too good to be true. We got at least another 15cm yesterday, I missed the official count because I was out shoveling. I didn’t have to shovel, Hubby would have done it, but I wanted the break from the kids climbing all over me. I did take J and the dogs out with me but, he climbed the mountain of snow instead of me.

As I was feeling sorry for myself that I lived in such a snow laden climate, I decided what better way to make it though the next bout of winter than to ensure that our wonderful annual beach vacation was booked solid. The agent called in December and our usual house was not available the week of July 4th, so we waited to book while we decided on the week. When I called yesterday our house was open from the 5th so we booked it with plans to stay with my family for the 4th. Yay!!

It won’t be long beach, until we meet again…

    What a great idea to get on that beach vacation. We just got back from the Bahamas and I don’t know why we took so long to go on a hot winter holiday.

    Well except the fact that I didn’t want to come home.

    Details details 🙂

    Oh and it’s been snowing non stop here too. We landed in Toronto the other day in a blizzard. We all clapped when the plane came to a stop. Fun stuff!

    I’m envious about your snow, if you can believe it. I want another good dumping before the spring comes…and I fear it shan’t!

    But what a great vacation you have coming.

    I find winter hard every year. Most years you will hear me saying this “I can handle as much snow as Mother Nature can throw at me, just keep the deep freeze away”. Well this year has tested that resolve. This is way way too much now!
