On Saturday morning we headed out bright and early (a big deal for us!) to the ice driving class. The class is held on Georgetown Lake. Yep, that's right, we were driving on a big frozen lake! Ice driving class teaches you how to control your vehicle when you run into snowy and icy road conditions as well as any other condition that could make you loose control of your car. It was cold and the snow was blowing, but that just added to making the conditions more true to life!
The great thing about ice driving class on a frozen lake is that you get to experience losing control of your auto without being in danger and then you learn how to control it when unexpected things happen. It was a lot of fun (and a little scary at times) getting to drive and spin on the ice in the car, but it was also very educational. If you live in a climate that is prone to snow and ice, I highly recommend taking an ice driving class. The information and experience you gain from it is invaluable. We met some really nice people, learned a lot and had a great time too! And as an added bonus we saw a guy who looked just like Iggy Pop at the Czechoslavokian restaurant we went to on Saturday night! It was really hard not to stare at him because the resemblance was amazing.
I was even inspired by many of my surroundings and experiences and have a bunch of new design ideas in my head. Sometimes it's good to get away and unplug.

It was exactly that exciting and frightening! But great experience and gained a lot of knowledge too. :)
So fun! That is exactly what we do here in Norway before people are aloud to get their license. Did you have a huge cut out of a moose flying at your car also?? ha ha
