Back in Winter Wonderland

No that is NOT Winter Haven.  I didn't blog last night as I was too tired and depressed about being back in my shoes and socks!!!   But we are home safe and sound.  The house is still standing and the driveway doesn't have much snow on it. So we didn't have to break out the snow shovels. (yet)

Yesterday morning John made us a batch of pancakes for breakfast before he and Judy took us into Orlando to catch our flight home.   We arrived at the Orlando International and had to say goodbye to our good friends.

 They look like they are saying "yahoo - they are finally leaving!!!".  

We had a great time.  We saw and did lots of things. I think that having the dolphins playing around our kayaks was the icing on the cake.  It was a blast guys and we look forward to your return to Ontario in the spring. Hope you enjoy the rest of your winter in Florida.  We should be green with envy but will mostly be blue with the cold.  Keep those tans updated so you can show off to the lily whites when you get back.

Our flight home was quick and smooth thanks to my favorite airline - Westjet.  We even arrived a half hour early into Toronto Pearson.


Our son and daughter-in-law picked us up at the airport.  During the drive home we called our favorite Italian restaurant, Abruzzo, and ordered a pizza.  We picked it up on the way home and enjoyed pizza and a beer with Stu and Heajin before they headed home.  Tom headed off for his guitar lesson and I got the bags unpacked.

It is always nice to get home after a vacation.  We will break out the coats, boots, gloves and scarves and get acclimatized again.  Life will be back to normal.  Most likely I will be back to blogging only occasionally as life will also be back to boring.  But life is good.

Until next time - safe travels.

  1. It's a curious thing, but pizza is always the first thing we have when we get home. I don't think I could have it any other way. Maybe because it has all the food groups? Easy to "prepare"? (phone or internet and credit card?)

  2. Have to thank you for leaving the warm weather for us. Kathy was ready to turn on the AC this afternoon but held off. The rest of the week is promising more of the same.

    Maybe we'll get together sometime in the summer. Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
