There’s nothing like a winter swim on an empty beach—the cold wakes you up in a way nothing else can. The world feels so quiet and calm, just the sound of the waves and the wind. Afterwards, we huddled around a fire, toasting marshmallows and warming up, laughing as the kids got sticky fingers. It’s those simple moments—fresh air, icy water, and a fire with family—that feel the most special. Something about the stillness just stays with you. | Juliet Elliott
