I was lucky enough to head north this week-end for some quality time with my family. It is the second year where we rent a large chalet and enjoy outdoor activities, eat amazing food, and spend quality time together. Our chalet was a rustic long cabin locate a mere 15 minutes from the core of St-Donat. This small town is brimming with local charm that features quaint coffee shops, ice cream parlour, restaurants, antique shops, and a large outdoor park run by the city. I got to test out my new cross-country skis over the week-end and benefited from the outdoor hot tub to make sure my muscles wouldn’t be too achy the next day. I also went sledding which, is just so much fun no matter your age (and a killer work out climbing hills in the snow). Sometimes a few days away from home is the perfect holiday detox and reinvigoration needed for jump-starting a new year.
Oh and you are probably wondering what on earth is a palm tree doing amongst the evergreen…. hehehe a little plastic withstands all weather conditions!
