Relax, Refresh, Rejuvenate





We just returned from a wonderful week in Lake Tahoe. Like a dork, I forgot the camera, but for those of you that have spent time there, you know that pictures don't do it justice! We stayed in a condo and really just had fun and relaxed. We had such of a nice time that Chandler begged to stay 2 more weeks. He now thinks that we really should buy a cabin at the lake. In my dreams! Or when I win the lotto! Here are a few reasons he thought it was so great:
  • We hiked to the top of Alpine Meadows through gorgeous wildflowers and found snow and a breathtaking view of the lake and mountains (boy am I out of shape!) Chan must have thrown 1 ton of rocks from the trail-what is it with boys and rocks?
  • We played games, watched movies, ate-a lot, slept in, stayed up late, read books and had no schedule
  • We rode our bikes through beautiful forest paths to the beach and stayed late swimming with Canadian geese each day. What makes us love jumping in water directly off of glaciers?
  • We went ice skating-some of us are much better at it than others ( I admit, I am a spazzz and was happy to use the walker, I didn't know anyone there-what did I have to loose?) It makes me nervous when all of the adds in the rink are for Orthopaedic surgeons!
  • Toured the beautiful Ehrman Mansion built from 1901-1903, the family stayed there in the summers with their slew of servants-an amazing home!
  • Sat in the hot tub with racoons watching us and us watching them
  • We enjoyed the cool air, the smell of pine trees and the amazing views
It was everything vacations are supposed to be, I highly recommend it!
