At first I thought that this was a tricky question since I don't have a second home and most places I've visited were during the summer time. Plus, I thought it had to be considered a place you called home, but the question said never asked that. However, I figured it out. My number favorite winter place to escape the cold (besides home) is Starbucks. If you and I really think about it, where's the first place we need to go when we're starting to get the chills? Coffee place. But when I think of coffee place, I think of Starbucks. I love that place. When you step into that door, it's nice and cozy. The smell of coffee just gives you that sense of happiness.

That's not even the best part. As you wait for your favorite barista to make your favorite coffee, you mind wonder mindlessly on how you want to start your day (or even how you want to end it). But you can't think straight because all you can think about is that first taste of your favorite coffee. That warm sensation that it will quip through your body in that very instant. Oh the gratification! Think about your cold hands. Once you grab that cup of coffee, your skin starts to tingle as the warmth of that coffee might bring goosebumps onto your arms. Oh? That doesn't happen to you? It does for me...and boy, do I love that feeling! That lovin feeling!

Sometimes, a favorite winter place to escape the cold does not have to be a home, it can be a place where people knows your name, a place where you love to workout, or simply a favorite business that you love to stop by because they give you that homely feeling and a warm cup of very delicious coffee!
