A Get-Away AND What People Do When The Tempurature Doesn't Get Above Freezing For The Whole Month

My birthday was a couple of weeks ago. One of the presents my sweet husband gave me was a night at the Saint Paul Hotel.

I, in turn, gave him a night at the hotel for his birthday. (Which is April 8th.)

So we had a two night get-away.

We had a great time loafing around, watching a couple of movies and sleeping in. It's a beautiful hotel.

We had a sweet bonus in our stay. What do you do when it's so cold for so long? You have a winter carnival and you carve ice. The park where all the ice carvings are displayed is right across the street from the hotel. Friday morning we braved the 12 degree weather and spent about 20 minutes checking out the art work. It was pretty neat.
