Day Three Hundred and Sixty-Three: Winter Wonderland



Pete took me to one of his favorite spots around Minneapolis today: Islands of Peace park. The mighty Mississippi runs through this park, after walking 5 miles uphill through the snow that was waist high in the wind in -20 degree temperature, (okay, I may be exaggerating a wee bit...) we arrived at ole man river who was about 90% frozen. While Pete and I didn't venture too far out onto the river, we did let the "kids" walk on water for a little bit.

This bridge was one our first obstacles to reach the river, and on the way back, it just looked so pretty, I had to take a picture (or actually two...can you tell?) of it! Enjoy!
