I grew up with snowbird grandparents. They used to spend about five months of the year in South Florida and the other seven up north with us in Pennsylvania. Back then, my family would typically visit them once — sometimes even twice — a year for a week, whether it was over winter or spring break for my siblings and me.

Those weeks — taking tennis lessons at the club; riding the golf cart to dinner; and spending long, sunny days in the pool — are some of my most cherished memories.

These days, they spend around four months a year in Boynton Beach, where they have a new home at a beautiful country club. In recent years it’s been harder to coordinate a time when the whole family can visit together like we used to. Though this home is smaller than their previous one — and half of us would likely be on air mattresses in the living room — we all still prefer to visit at the same time.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way this year. So Christian and I took our trip earlier this month and got to enjoy some nice quality time with my grandparents.

Of course, we had to sneak in nine holes of golf with my grandpa, who downplayed his skills beforehand, warning us not to expect too much. Since we played a “scramble” — a format where we all worked together to reach par — he claimed he might not be the strongest teammate. That turned out to be far from true: I think we used his tee shots on seven out of nine holes! He still shoots them straight as ever.

We also dined at a cozy, local Italian spot and enjoyed a European buffet in the country club’s dining room; both meals were fantastic.

The weather over the weekend wasn’t ideal, so when my grandparents went to visit friends on Sunday, Christian and I took a 30-minute drive to Delray Beach for smoothies and a stroll down Atlantic Avenue.

We definitely plan to go back — hopefully when the weather is nicer. In the meantime, my grandparents are already back in Pennsylvania, getting ready for our Passover Seders this weekend, and I’m really looking forward to more family time.
