One of the reasons we moved here is so that our children can enjoy the place during school vacations or if we wind up in need of their help/care for a few weeks or months in the future.
It's awfully depressing and morbid to think of having to go back up to the dark, frozen tundra up north to help/care for our parents if/when they need it. Up there, there is nothing for us to do, but here everything is set up for newcomers and short-term-stay visitors (like our adult children) to have plenty of things to do in the sunshine, and it's easy to meet people to do things with. Not so in the frozen north.
