ICE EXCURSIONS!

I normally honker-down in the winter time, but this year(so far)-I have changed my tune and did 2 great long getaway weekends that I recommend! We went to Portland, Oregon and visited friends over MLK weekend. We have been there before and luckily when we went there wasn't a drop of rain! We ventured out to hood river and took the old highway along the Columbia Gorge. Waterfalls surrounded by massive icicles was very cool (no pun intended).

We also went to see my best friend in her new 200 year old house in Cohasset, Mass. My dog was ECSTATIC to be on the beach off-season. The town was warm and cozy for sure. The town fountain had froze over and kids ice-skated every day. It was truly out of Norman Rockwell.
