Florida visit with Mom and Dad

I (Beth) spent a "mini-vacation" from Saturday until Wednesday in North Fort Myers, Florida with Mom and Dad. I was able to get a cheap flight, despite it being March Break, as I flew into Tampa and out of Orlando--making for a bit of driving for my tireless "chauffeurs".
We spent a relaxing week enjoying "retirement", as Mom and Dad showed me around the retirement community in the golf cart, and we enjoyed floating in the pool, sampling the local cuisine, and of course, a bit of shopping!
Aunt Judy joined us on Monday night, and it was great to spend time with her, as our family get-togethers can often be busy and don't allow for much "visiting". Likewise, it was great to see Linda and Ian Campbell and their daughter Laura's family, as well as to catch up with Tom and Julia Skinner at their nearby vacation rental. It seems like Fort Myers is the place to be for Ontario Retirees! Mom and Dad have had lots of chance to visit with friends in the few weeks they've been down there.
It was tough to come back to the cold and snow here and Calgary after such beautiful weather in Florida! And of course always tough to leave after a brief visit with Mom and Dad, but we already have our next visit scheduled for the summer!
We will try to enjoy the last few weeks of winter here, as spring comes late, and then we're off to Mexico in just under a month for Shandra and Dave's wedding!
