New York + Snow = Fun


During our recent visit to the Rochester, NY area it snowed everyday we were there (no surprise there). Us being the Southerners that we are, we thoroughly enjoyed the snow. I dont know who enjoyed it more, Addison or Mike?? Myself and Zoey were over playing in the snow after about 3 minutes so we chose to go inside the hotel where it was warm while Mike and Addison stayed out for another 20 minutes or so. They probably would've have stayed out longer if they would've had proper snow clothes on, but oh well, maybe next time we can come more prepared.

Anyhow, before Zoey and mom went inside, we decided to get some fun snow pictures and I think they turned out oh-so-adorable. My little girls make the cutest snow babies---yep its true! No questioning there who are the cutest snow babies b/c my kids are sure to win. Can you tell I am WAY biased?? Or am I just WAY truthful?? I think a little of both.



Mike and the Girls


Zoey


Me and my girls


After Zoey and I opted to go inside...she looked so cute in her little hat and all, I took some picture of her inside our WARM hotel room.....


So cute!! I just love this little girl




We also decided to go exploring all around the city. Rochester just sits right off of Lake Ontartio. The lake and the scenery around it is GORGEOUS! Even with all the snow. We loved it!



This is a big bay area just off of the lake, so pretty! And the houses that sit right on the bay are actually reasonably priced! I was quite surprised at that.


Lake Ontario to your right ahead


They werent kidding around when they named these lakes the "Great Lakes". They are HUGE!! I made me happy b/c the lake reminded me of the ocean.

Another view of the lake...again HUGE!! It seriously is as if you are at the ocean! I love that feeling!!! It made me homesick for Charleston.

Again, gorgeous area--we loved it!!

Glad you liked Rochester, that is where Roger served his mission! Also, Allan's brother Curt just finished his PHd there in physics and was hired by the university there, so they are staying in the area. His wife's name is Meredith and they have a baby about the same age as Zoey whose name is Roscoe. Meredith grew up in Rochester and they met there while Curt was working on his PHd. So if you decide to go there, you could look up someone who knows the area and could help you out!
