If I were to go on vacation I would choose a place that is hot, sunny, and far from the wintry cold weather of Minneapolis.  If I wanted to spend an evening in 14 degree weather, I would sleep for free in the newly fallen snow in our yard rather than spending money to stay in the Ice Hotel.

I have to admit that I find it amazing that the hotel is made entirely of ice, but still, not my idea of a weekend getaway.
