My family has engaged in a new winter activity this year: nighttime urban sledding. I was out-of-town the first snowstorm/night the sled came out. I had to fly to Philly to take a very secret test with pretend patients and I can't tell you anything about it because it is considered top secret and very "high stakes" in the world of medical education. What I can tell you is that it was very long and exhausting (the whole process of getting there and taking the test), the food was hideous and the hotel I stayed in did not have hot water for my shower. We had to circle Philly an extra time before landing because of high winds which was a bit nerve racking and I was going to be really pissed if I died because of that stupid test. And to top it off I had to miss the first night of urban sledding.
But I got to go tonight! I don't have any pics because our camera does not have working flash. We found alleys, empty lots and snowbanks to sled down about town. It was really fun to just walk around and look for places to "catch a hill". And when we didn't have a good/safe hill to sled down Ms Perpetual Motion plopped herself in the sled and we parents ran while pulling the sled down the sidewalk. She only flipped out of the sled and did a faceplant once.
