NY Grandparents

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays My grandparents are originally from New York, New York. About seven years ago, they bought a condo in a retirement home in – you guessed it—Southern Florida. Like many of their friends, they move to the condo in November. My grandfather always jokes and says that it is to save money on natural gas prices new york. It’s true, in Southern Florida in the winter, you do not have to run the heat or an air conditioner. The weather is about seventy five degrees all years. My grandparents absolutely love being Floridians during the winter. It’s funny though, everyone in their condo association is of the same demographic. They are Jewish New Yorkers—imagine that! I tease them all they time and say they got their idea from the Seinfeld episode. Spending winter break in Florida was an adjustment, but I love it. I look forward to hearing seagulls, seeing the ocean, and playing shuffleboardwith my grandparents and their friends. Shuffleboard is definitely more fun than it looks!
