I wanted to do a little get away this weekend so when I read about the national Snow Sculpting Contest in Lake Geneva, I figured it would fit the bill.
I made a reservation for us at The Crossroads Motel which just happens to be the motel that John and my parents spent so much time at when we lived in Elkhorn. They never stayed with us, choosing instead to stay at the Crossroads.
We arrived at Lake Geneva about 11:00.
It took quite awhile to find a parking place, but we finally did find one about six blocks from the lake which was a perfect distance and it kept us away from the crazy traffic.
WE had lunch at a potbelly sandwich place and then went down by the lake to see the snow sculptures.
They were very cool and there were lots of people.
It was quite an event.
At about 3 we headed back to Elkhorn and had margaritas and chips at a cute Mexican restaurant.
After that we checked into the motel.
It was nice enough but showed its age. For $50.00 though we couldn't complain.
We decided to go to Sperino's for pizza and beer. We had gone there 40 years ago when we lived in Elkhorn and we wanted to see if it was the same.
We were the only people in the place. It was rather odd. John liked the pizza but it was too cheesy for my tastes.
After that we went into the Pepperoni Pub which is next to Sperino's owned by the same family.
Had a few beers and then about 10:00 we went back to the motel.
We had to leave the TV on while we went out to dinner because it was so difficult to turn on and off.
This morning we woke up to at least 6 inches of snow.
The drive home was a bit slow on snow covered roads, but we made it just fine.
John did all the shoveling and now we are holed up waiting for the Super Bowl.
Here are a few photos from the weekend:
