Man in the (Super)Moon

Last weekend with our camera in tow, we made our way to the Harvard Bridge in Cambridge to watch the Moon rise over Boston. On March 19 the Moon was at the closest point in it's elliptical orbit to Earth and it was also a full moon.  Therefore, because of it's closer position to Earth, the Moon would appear larger and brighter. It's called a supermoon.

Here are a few pics of the Moon rising. Notice how much the Moon moved in only a couple minutes!

And then me:

To me the Moon didn't seem that much larger and brighter than a normal full moon, but I don't usually make much of an effort to watch the Moon rise either. So I guess I don't have much to compare it to. Either way it was a good time.

Last weekend we also went skiing at Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. It's just over an hour away from our place. It was a nice spring skiing kind of day; the sun was out and it was warm.

We opted to ski instead of snowboard because the warmer weather can make the snow sticky. It was our third time out on skis and I'd say that we're both feeling pretty comfortable. We both even started to do little (and I mean really little) jumps. The resort is not overly big, but we still enjoyed ourselves. It was a wonderful Sunday spent with my hubby!
