I love snow and winter. I grew up on the East Coast, so as a kid, I would spend hours playing in it, building snow families and snow houses (yes, we got THAT much snow… didn’t even make a dent), sliding, skating and snowshoeing. But I must admit: I love the snow so much more from afar.  Last weekend, while my family and friends on the East Coast continued to battle the Canadian elements, I was able to enjoy the beautiful early spring on this side of the country. I went to two local beaches, and although I didn’t swim (it’s STILL March in Canada), I did walk with just a warm sweater on. Cheers to West Coast winters!
