Snowmobile Trip in Pennsylvania

I had to wait a few days to "respect" Holly's Tim Duncan autograph, but I now have clearance to make a post of my own.

Dad and I went snowmobiling while Holly was enjoying her San Antonio Spurs game. We met up in the Allegheny mountains on a Saturday night, then hit the trails on Sunday morning. It was incredibly scenic, and the snow was fresh (it snowed about 4 inches the night before, and we were on the trails early). It was nice to get on a snowmobile again--it had been 2 years since I was last on a trip. We went 120.5 miles which was quite a bit for one day of riding.

It was a great time and I'm already looking forward to potentially doing another trip next year!

Oh, and on a geeky note. I took these pictures on my new cell phone. I was able to finagle with Sprint to get free internet and text messages on my phone (and Holly got free text messages). Since we got new features and our phone contract was up, we went out and got new phones. I splurged a bit on my phone, and ended up getting an HTC Touch Diamond (review here). It takes beautiful pictures, and can do just about anything. I even used the GPS to navigate to and from the snowmobile trip. Yes, Holly got a very nice phone as well... but since she is a self-described cell-phone dropper, she got one that suits her needs but is not quite as hard to replace ;-).

Looks like you had a nice ride. I'm glad your back is O.K. Have fun with your new phone, geek. Don't try to text Dad or I though, we don't know how and have it blocked on our phone.

Love ya,
Mom

I can't tell you two apart... you're wearing the same outfit. :)
Looked pretty though.

Love, Jenn

I didn't even notice Jenn... you're right we're wearing the same thing... too funny.

I'm the one with the red helmet :-).

I must say, your dad's story about you guys getting stuck in the snow twice in his truck was pretty funny. Next time keep the truck on the road and not the snowmobile trails.
