A Toast to the NEW YEAR

New Years Day we helped Garry unload their moving van.
It was -7, but lucky for us it didn't take all that long!! We treated ourselves to a dip in "Chena HOT Springs" after unloading the van.
Now That was a TREAT. Chena Hot Springs is about 50 miles northeast of Fairbanks.
Parker and grandpa relaxing in the "indoor" pool. Outside was the "Rock Lake Pool". It was awesome outside, the steam from the hot water made all the trees, bushes and rocks around the lake frosted with snow and ice. Everything was frosty and steamy with just enough light from the spotlights around the lake to make it into a fantasy land. Back at the hotel,( Parker thinks we should really think about moving into a house) we toasted the New Year in with Root Beer Floats with all the gang, and banged on pots and pans.

Those hot springs sound like so much fun! Maybe we'll join you guys in AK in a few years... during residency. It would be a dream come true for Jared. Looks like you guys rang in the new year quite festively!
