Lake Tahoe Vacation

Amanda and Kevin recently moved to Truckee, CA, just a few miles from Lake Tahoe. They graciously invited guests to come visit and we jumped at the chance. Bob and I went there for our honeymoon 9 years ago and it was beautiful.

We had such a great time with the Smiths'. They had a great place for us to stay and our kids had a great time with their kids. And I loved having so much time with Amanda!

We went to a couple of different beaches. The kids loved the sand and venturing out into the lake. We went to Sutter's Mill and the kids panned for gold. They thought that was so exciting until they realized it's hard to really find gold. But they still had fun and Bob was a great guide and helped them find what little flecks of gold they did get. We went to Carson City to a train museum, which all the kids liked, but Seth loved. And we went and saw the capital building and all the other important state buildings and had lunch on the lawn there.

The weather was perfect and every night Bob and Kevin took all the kids and walked around the golf course in their backyard looking for lost golf balls. They loved it and they always found several balls. Then after the kids went to bed, the adults would play games. It was such a great vacation!
