Up North

We recently went Up North for probably the most perfect day of skiing ever.  It started with some tall boys, and ended with car bombs... but in between we had sunny skies, warm temps and not super crowded conditions.

 There was ski racing involving a photo finish.

 And Jim skied this bowl...

 Only to come out the other side like this:

 Then, we headed to Lake Michigan, because why wouldn't you?  It was cold, windy, frozen and awesome.

We walked on the pier, where you shouldn't walk... I personally went with the crab walk.

Jim climbed on things you shouldn't climb on.

 

And we got some great pictures of epic Lake Michigan.

Winter in the City

 

Jim and I went to South Haven's annual Ice Breaker Festival. It was a great festival.  Seventeen businesses in downtown South Haven open their doors to the chili tasters.  We even tasted chili ice cream.

 

We enjoyed tasting it all and checking out some businesses we'd never been to, enjoying their outdoor fire areas and meeting people.

 

We enjoyed checking out the ice carvings too.

 

We've really been enjoying hiking to the Lake this winter.

 This particular hike was really difficult as we had over a foot of fresh snow.  However, it was totally worth it when we reached the top of the dune and had this great view to take in.
