We saw some kids and their parents sledding down a hill, and I decided I was going to do it too! The snow here sparkles!<\/p>\n<p>You know what comes with snow? Ice. You know what happens when you walk on ice without traction? You fall on your butt. Katie experienced that phenomenon a few times during her stay. I joined the club today when I was in my own driveway. My butt hurts still thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2504 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n.jpg\" alt=\"1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1544586_10153656444800072_1143287600_n-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s awesome living so close to the mountains. The view surrounds me as I am driving and it\u2019s a nice change of pace from Florida. There\u2019s a nice park, Mill Creek Canyon, which is part of a National Forest right near my house. Katie and I went walking, but quickly found that we were not dressed appropriately. If I wore some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yaktrax.com\/\">Yaktrax<\/a> (for running), it\u2019d be a nice trail run. That will be my goal for my stay: to run up that trail and see what\u2019s at the top.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2505 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n.jpg\" alt=\"1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1530382_10153662051905072_8471642_n-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like the area that I\u2019m living in. It\u2019s called Sugarhouse. There are a lot of cute houses and young, active people around. The park down the street seems pretty popular with runners and families. It\u2019s only a half mile away, perfect for my running. I\u2019d like to train for the<a href=\"http:\/\/runrocknroll.competitor.com\/nashville\"> Nashville Rock n\u2019 Roll Half Marathon on April 26th<\/a> while I am here. Now, if only I could get over this cold that I have.<\/p>\n<p>I also get the pleasure of living with some of my roommate\u2019s pets. She has two cats and a golden retriever. The kitties are very friendly and quirky. They like to come keep me company downstairs! Their names are Mow Mow, Catse, and Koda. My spelling is probably wrong on all of them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2506 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n.jpg\" alt=\"995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/995300_10153732191280072_2084706070_n-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Katie and I went sledding at the park around the corner.

We didn\u2019t know if there was such thing as \u201cadult\u201d discs but apparently there are not since the guy seemed amused by our question. We had a blast going higher and higher up on the hill. We caught some air on some of the bumps. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s for children.
