Last night Jason, Bea and I went to the start of the U.P. 200. It was 20 degrees with a 3 degree windchill and around 30 mph gusts of wind, but it was so great to be able to be there.
the U.P. 200 starts in marquette and goes all the way to grand marais and back. this race is a qualifier for the Iditarod in Alaska, and we were there to watch them take off.
we bundled Bea up as much as we could. the only thing that kept getting cold were her GINORMOUS cheeks, otherwise, jason kept her nice and toasty!
we are so lucky to live in a city like Marquette. Where else can you see a sled dog race take off and not have to drive further than 5 minutes from home.
she could not be bothered with the race.

wow, they could have stopped to the bookstore and picked up a pipe for Grandpa! I hardly recognized the
ReplyDeletestreet. Bea has good insulation. . .a good thing for a UP baby.
