The Poconoes

This past weekend I took a trip with friends to the Poconoes. The Poconoes is a place where many people go to getaway and have fun. Since it is Winter time there is many Winter activities to do there. On Saturday it began to snow a lot in the Poconoes. Seeing the mountains and the trees covered in the snow was absouloutly stunning. The fact that many of the activities done in the Poconoes are outside it was extremely cold, half of the time there I could barely feel my toes. One of the activities I did that was a lot of fun was snow tubing. You go up a big hill and when you get to the top you sit in your tube and speedily slide down the hill. It was also fun just hanging out with my friends in a house and getting away from my usual surrondings. I would reccomend to anyone a small trip to the Poconoes in the Winter or the Spring. It is not to far away from New York City and there is many fun, exhilarating things to do there.
