A Winter Wonderland

Alli and I were finally able to renew our love for the outdoors this weekend when we went cross-country skiing at Harriman state park. Alli and I did this trip together last year as well, and we love to see the beautiful winter wonderland along with the exercise.The park stays so un-touched by man in the winter. In the distance you can see the Grand Teton Mountains. You would never know that the above picture is actually a lake until you see the picture below.
The whole park is full of these beautiful swans. Although most of the lake is frozen over, the swans find little patches of water to swim in.




We had so much fun together that we're already planning our next trip...now we just need Alli to get another day off!

It felt so good to be back in nature, but since we both haven't exercised since our last hike, this trip was definitely more strenuous than what it should have been had we prepared for it. Nonetheless, we are determined to do it again. Besides, we must get in shape before our big bicycling trip this summer!
