Scenes From a Winter Hike

Yesterday we planned to drive two-hours north and ski for the afternoon.  Well, we drove two hours north, but when we arrived, it was pouring [rain, not snow].  So, we hopped back in the car and headed home.  I did take a few pictures, but you probably don't want to see the view from an hour-long traffic jam, Rob cleaning his sunglasses, or me drinking a smoothie. 

We were obviously kind of disappointed to not find anything exciting to do during our kid-free weekend - so we decided to take advantage of the weather (sunny-ish and 40 degrees F) and hike in the slushy snow this morning.  It was great - invigorating, a little challenging, and just plain fun to have quiet time together.   A little sun after a full-day of rain really does do wonders for the soul.

  3. The alternative plan looks like a lot of fun despite the disappointment of not being able to ski.

    I agree - a day of outdoor activity really re-charges your batteries spiritually and otherwise.
