新年快樂!!

So.....It's unofficially 2011....only because we celebrated last night.  ;)
Monday morning we headed up to Mt. Spokane to do some X-country skiing.  Thanks Shawsh for letting us use your parking pass ;)  We had a great time, made it to junction number 7....and ended up going the wrong way UP the hardest and longest trail between the 7th junction and the Nova hut. Bad idea....I'm still sore.  But it was a great time nonetheless

Here's a link to the  the trail map....look for Quartz Mt. loop, it's a little out of the way of where we were trying to go.

Here's the crew beforehand

I fell lots....and my hair froze.  Notice the icicle hanging down my forehead.

Tacoma looks way too calm for having gone 4.5 kilometers uphill around the Quartz Mt. loop

Laughy loves....you?  No, the snow

The view was sooooo pretty!

And....us.....happy after it was all over.

This is how I felt afterwards....

Then we drove down to Endicott to celebrate New Years with games, fireworks and crab (my new favorite tradition!)

We took 2 cars down since Janae's flight left at 5 this morning, and so the girls drove back without sleeping, Exodus and I decided to leave this afternoon....too bad there was a blizzard warning for Spokane and Whitman counties.  It was one of the scariest drives I've ever been in, even though I never touched the wheel, but we made it back and only got stuck once.  Thanks goodness Exodus is a safe driver! 

HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!

I'll pretend to celebrate with the rest of you while I'm working....and getting paid ;)
