New Year's Day 2023 was a blast. We headed down for the official polar bear plunge and were shocked by how many people where there. It was a blast. The costumes were fantastic. My favorite was the family of circus performers. We snacked on liege waffles Penny treated us with while the boys went back out surfing. We eventually had our own polar bear plunge -- but right outside our house so a hot shower was waiting. I know it's not as bad as Lake Michigan, but it's still only about 53 degrees. We eventually walked around on the search for coffee and food, ending up at Chico Feo again. Cole, Hudson and Brian spent most of the afternoon back on the water. That night we had our traditional pork and sauerkraut to bring good luck and prosperity in the new year while watching a movie. We didn't want the evening to end but had to make it an early one. Unfortunately, the P4 had to leave a day earlier than originally planned so Cole wouldn't miss too much school. He starts up again this week. No big deal, but of course we would have loved more time. That's always the sign of a great vacation. We are making our way back now, doing the 1,028 miles in one day. Feeling rejuvenated and full of gratitude for a week of family time with wonderful friends. Lucky us. Here's to a great 2023!
