we were supposed to go up to Albany to visit my friend Jennifer last sunday but due to snow we weren't able to. So taking the opportunity of awesome weather this sunday we headed up yesterday. And since on saturday we had nice warm weather here in the city, i stupidly thought it would be the same up there as well, therefore, i planned a hike. 

about an hour into the road trip i started to see frozen snow everywhere and thats when i realized, city weather would've been different from up there(why didn't i think of this before?!). anyway, we just thought we'd check it out as planned and see how it goes. 

well.... it was fun, it was cold/freezing, it was beautiful, it was painful, stepping into the frozen snow, boy do they cut you real good.
