When I ventured away from my California home, 10 years ago, I had all the intentions in the world of returning and setting up my home on the beach somewhere.
Days filled with snow and bitter cold were foreign to me and the words "wind chill" didn't exist as one term in my vocabulary.
I figured I'd be away at school for a few years, then back home at the sandy shores of sunny Southern California. I pictured spending afternoons at the beach all year round with my kids. Something that looked a little like this:
Little did I know that there was a bigger plan in store for me. I was unaware at the time of all the fun I would have playing with my kids in the snow.
Sure, there are some not so fun aspects of having snow right out your front door. But, it's beautiful and when you are in your own front yard the warmth of your house is just a few foot steps away! Plus beach toys double as snow toys sometimes too!
