Powder

Mikey and Lacey came to visit this weekend. Good times.

We went to Labrador Mountain so that Lacey could learn to ski before she and Mike go to Vermont next weekend. The conditions were amazing. Hardly any ice. A rarity for CNY.

This is the kind of snowboard I ride, a K2 Lunatique. Tim just got it for me with

 awesome Ride bindings for Christmas. Love this board <333

Mikey and Lacey at the bar at Lab. Special on Yuengling Light, $2.50 drafts, yummm. 

That guy behind Lacey = solo person who took the corner in a crowded bar = party foul. 

Can't wait to see these two again soon xoxo

Color and Adventure on a Cloudy Day

"So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in wonderland, though she
knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality"

Inspired by LaceyInTheCity, I have decided to start a blog. After a few days of consideration, I've decided to call it "Allie in Wonderland," and Tim (husband), MikeyD (friend), and Lacey (inspiration) thought it was a good title, so that works for me. 

Why wonderland? Because it's everyday life, but seeing it with a little more color and adventure.

Example: Syracuse is snowy, cold, and cloudy. But because of all that, we get days like the one you see in the picture above.  

So it's those moments of color and adventure in an otherwise dull setting that I want to write about in this blog, and I'll try to capture it all through images, quotes, and stories.
