Nina and I are carrying on our NYE tradition of not being stuck in a party with expensive champagne and eating cold jalapeno poppers. Nothing against it though, it's just not for us. We opt to hang out in Three Oaks Michigan, grabbing dinner at Journeyman Distillery and walking along the beach to take photos of the frigid waters of Lake Michigan. 

If you are tired of NYE parties that can easily be a let down, try a winter getaway with a couple friends. You might just start a tradition.
