Being a Minnesota girl has led me to embrace the winter. I have been skiing, skating, and sledding, even though I don't do any of them regularly. My husband actually proposed to me on our siatska rink behind my parents' house! I have also been to the St. Paul Winter Carnival a couple of times. The ice palaces are amazing! If we still lived closer I would probably try to drag my husband over more often. We also like seeing the lights, and we went to the Bentleyville display in Duluth for the first time.

I did see the Hollidazzle Parade one year, which was the closest I've ever come to celebrating a winter activity in the Twin Cities.

Lots of fun---despite the miserable temps we sometimes had!

I have visited winter carnivals, but only the smaller town ones where they make ice sculptures and so forth. Thanks for posting!
