Winter ocean has its warmth

I was very tempted to travel south. Images of Caribbean beaches and warm waters in the middle of December looked so appealing that I almost made reservations.

Instead, I went to visit my parents just nine hours south of Ottawa. I got what no luxurious vacation can offer – love and care at my parents’ home. My mom’s yummy dishes, backgammon tournaments with my dad, walks on the beach and lots of sharing of plans for the future. I got to be their little girl again and it was precious.

That's my favourite thing about holidays – spending time with family.
