A Late Winter Outing

Sunday, March 7, 1999

990306-2a.jpg Once that was out of the way, we decided to go sking. It was the first time this winter. Since it was already noon (hey, it's Sunday!) we decided to stay close to home. This meant trying out a new place. We found one only 30 minutes away, and it was good. It was the first chance Nick had had to try out his new skis.

Yes, I know. There aren't any pictures of me. Nobody else was offering to take pictures!
