Valentine's Day Weekend in Prescott (not what we planned...)

We knew there would be snow in Prescott, but we never dreamed we would get stuck in it!
Prescott is so beautiful when it is white :)
When Travis and I see snow we have to be out in it.
We were coming back to the house after lunch in town on Saturday afternoon to find out that our little SUV could not make it up the neighborhood hill. So we had to abandon the car on the highway and hike back to the house.
Unfortunately, on Sunday morning the snow was even thicker!!!
So we bundled up and began our journey...
We once again had to hike, this time to get to our vehicle.
Once we got to the car, it was buried in snow and frozen shut...
& once we got into the car, of course it wouldn't start.
This nice Titan assisted us with starting up again,
but we still couldn't get it up the hill to the house.
Instead, Travis and I had to hike multiple times back and forth to pack up the car to head back to Phoenix. We spent the couple hours of hiking just laughing about the situation, and it made for great quality time together!
(Travis would have liked the time in the snow a lot more had I packed him a winter coat and snow boots... oops :)
Note to self... purchase a vehicle with 4-wheel-drive; you just never know when it might come in handy!
