Remember when we used to enjoy snow days? I sure do, especially as I stare at my computer screen. During snow days in Ohio, where I'm from, we'd race to the nearest sledding hill, trying to be the first to shred down it. As of my morning commute, nobody had deflowered Crescent Hill's best hill, which slopes from Barret Traditional Middle School down to Galt Avenue. Who's going to be first?
Also, here are the five best sleds, in order:
1. Red Ryder wooden sled
2. Inner tube
3. Plastic sled
I have a confession. While this column is supposed to be about places to go with kids, I haven't gone many places lately with my own child. For starters, Jack has been sick for about three weeks now with a cold followed by an ear infection. Also, it's cold and snowy outside. Believe me, I can tolerate inclement weather...I used to live in Wisconsin where it snowed 100 inches last winter. But dragging a sick baby out in the cold, wet weather just doesn't strike me as a good idea.
