You have answered your own questions: Your son wants you back to babysit, that's not your idea. You don't want to return to the cold. Your title is "Guilt Trip". Guilt is the archenemy of a positive, healthy lifestyle.
Less important is money, but think about how much more it will cost to move back and then try to do the 'retire' thing later. Thousands!!! If you want, use some of that money to bring the kids and grandkids here as often as possible. Everybody will think it's special and you will LOVE babysitting then.
