In this part of the world...Toronto, Ontario Canada...the annual March Break vacation break has arrived for school aged children...and hopefully their parents as well!
Most of the schools in the region will be off all of next week (March 14 to March 18) and many take this time to travel. The main airport here in Toronto, Pearson International, sees its busiest days of the year during this time...even more traffic than during the Christmas time break.
Where are people headed? Lots go south...Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean...anywhere it's warm. A lot people however, do stay put at home with lots of activities going on geared toward the kids!
We have had a pretty rough winter this year...tougher than ones we've seen over the previous few winters. A lot more snow for sure and even colder temperatures.
I recall the last two winters before this one, in the Toronto area there was absolutely no snow to be seen on the ground from March 1st, the temperature were fairly mild and we didn't any snow again until later in the year, around mid to late November at the earliest!
So we laughed about all those people who headed south for March Break during those last two winters...because we had great weather here and took advantage of that! After this winter...who's laughing now!
