Hi friends! Eliot and I are still enjoying a few more days in the Florida sunshine... but reality has set in. It's still winter... even here in Florida. For the most part, our trip has been nice- in the 70°s and 80°s, but it's going to drop to 54° on Saturday. Ok so to us Mainers, that doesn't sound cold... but in Florida, that's like 0° with how cold the dew point makes it. Eliot and I are ready to get our out "warm" clothes if needed!
The locals are certainly having a tough time with the cooler evenings. We've broken out our Spirit Jerseys a few times. It hasn't been completely unbearable... yet. But the cool evenings have me thinking about what we're going back to in a few days.
The weather hasn't been too bad back home, and we've barely had any snow. Mostly rain thankfully- so at least we won't have to unearth the Jeep when we go to pick it up at the airport. And we'll be able to get into our driveway!
I've gotta be honest... I'm not exactly looking forward to the cold or the snow. But there is something magical about winter. Once I get reacclimated to the low temperatures, I'm sure that I'll find the beauty in it. There's nothing quite like the glimmer of fresh fallen snow. I've also made this fun bucket list so Eliot and I can enjoy what the season has to offer. Let's check out what our January and February might look like!
