Actually, I wonder what I was thinking heading out to the beach with wind chills that had to be in the single digits if not lower.  Of course, the guy that was windsurfing one up’ed me in the dedication department.

Like the video said, I made it to the lighthouse without freezing to death.

The most interesting find of the day was this dried up bouquet of roses along the lighthouse breakwall. If anybody knows the story please leave it in the comments or email it to me. If you don’t know the story, make up what you think it might be all about!

Then in the car and off to Mentor Lagoons for a quick walk. It was my first time there and I’m glad my good friend Andi (also crazy enough to make this trip with me) introduced me to the place.

Let me know what you think of the video. I’m planning on including them more with the posts this year.
