Went with Lou for our first ever spinning class. Wow! We managed to hang in there for the whole class. When we left the fitness studio, it was SNOWING! Snowing in APRIL! We spent part of the day working with Lou bringing her up to speed with her new MacBook. When Bill got off work we departed for Cedar Crest. It was a treacherous drive through the snowfall but we finally arrived at Elaine’s Bed & Breakfast and began our enchanted weekend – including delicious flan and a candlelit soak in the hot tub with snow falling all around
