What do Pepperidge Farm, Preston and snow have in common?  A Saturday filled of snowshoeing adventure!  Eric and I have been wanting to go snowshoeing for a very long time now.  But it always seems that we act to late.  So this time when the thought came to me, I jumped (or made Eric) jump on the idea right away.  Eric has a good friend from his program named Kellan; and Kellan is married to Shelley who I have gotten to know.  So we girls decided that yesterday was a great day to go snowshoeing.  Kellan and Shelley (KS for short) picked us up at about 10:15 am yesterday.  KS knew of a great spot to go snowshoeing, so off to Preston we headed.  We were just a couple miles away from Pepperidge Farms when I voiced stopping to get snacks.  It then came to my attention that Eric forgot his wallet but did bring our Subway card.  But being the nice folks KS are, they stopped anyway.  We got wheat goldfish, orange milanos and they got some flavored goldfish then were on the road again.  We traveled another 20 minutes or so and pulled off the side of the road to a spot we thought would be great snow adventure.  We geared up and off we went.  It was so nice to be out of the inversion and yucky air.  It was sunny and quite warm.  We snowshoed for about 1 1/2 before heading back for the car.  The snow was awesome!  It had a crystal like coating that was soft and sparkly and made the coolest sound walking through it.  We all shed some layers and were very pleased for warmth.  (Seeing as the last time Eric and I went snowshoeing we went in -15 degree weather.)  We all got some sun on our wintery faces and got a great workout tromping through the snow.  And oh yes, of course I brought my camera.
