Day Two, 1/2/2011

Not much can tear Matt away from the NFL playoffs, but a day with weather above 20 degrees in January will do the trick.


We went cross-country skiing at one of our favorite trails in Fairbanks. With our down hill ski options limited and the weather being so harsh much of the winter, cross-country skiing is a very popular pastime in the Interior.


After grabbing a bite at home, we headed into North Pole proper to view the ice sculptures at the “Christmas in Ice” display. Today was the last day it was open, and a perfectly beautiful evening to go.

The holidays are officially over now, it’s back to work tomorrow and I am wiped out. But I can say with all certainty that we made the most of a rare balmy winter’s day.
