Travis, Risa, Dan, Janene, Julie and I getting ready to get COLD!
I started the year off with a brisk dip in Lake Washington at Mathews Beach in Seattle this year. This has become a tradition for Julie and I having done it 9 years in a row now. This year was extra special because after years of inviting friends to come and join us we finally got some to actually come and do it!
For years I had heard about crazy people who go for a swim on New Years day and called themselves polar bears. Julie and I did our first and third swims in Vancouver BC where it has been a tradition for many years.
We are pretty happy that it has come to Seattle though as it is a little closer to home!
