Snow Hike

So the East Coast got it's first big snow storm last week which means the media over dramatized the impact of the storm and both Dan and I still had to go to work on Friday.  We got over a foot in Bay Ridge but it wasn't as bad as anyone predicted.

On Saturday my day plans fell through so Dan and I decided to walk 4 miles along the Promenade to Kohl's in Ceasar's Bay.  Crazy?  Maybe.

The first half of the trek was smooth, the path had been plowed and the wind off the water was mild.  Once we reached the Verranzano Bridge, however, it turned into a tundra hike. 

The drifts of snow were 3 feet high in some places and the rugged path blazed by crazy people before us was iced over so that it was like walking on rocks but it was just hard bumpy snow.  Dan wasn't wearing boots, so he got a little bit wet.  

 

It was a fun adventure and Dan treated me to a well deserved lunch at Wendy's.  Classy and delicious. 

Then we went to Kohl's and got new sweaters to wear for our Save the Date photos.

Rather than trekking back we decided to take the subway and made it home in time to watch the Chiefs lose in an epic Colts come-back.
