A Few Days in Tahoe

Michael's parent own a nice, little condo right off of beautiful Lake Tahoe. So, Michael and I try to drive up the hill the Tahoe as often as we can. We went there last week for some of the Fourth of July festivities and then we went up again this past Wednesday to hang out with Jeff's family (Michael's brother).

On the way up to Tahoe, we were lucky enough to get a flat tire (second one in a year!!!). We pulled over, called AAA and were able to drive back home on our donut tire. All was not lost though, Jeff was able to pick us up on their way up to the condo. Thank you, Jeff and Jennifer!

Although our trip had a rough start, we had a great time. Michael went out with the boys to the Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tournament. He, his brother, and his nephews got authographs from people like Tony Romo, Jason Kidd, Kevin from the Office, Trent Green, and other celebrities. Meanwhile, at the condo, the girls went out for a walk looking at all the ridiculously huge houses around the lake. We also gave ourselves pedicures and enjoyed hours of girl talk. The next day we went to the beach, went out for dinner, and played a fun video game, Buzz. We always have a great time at the Lake.

A fun day at the beach and, yes, I built that sand castle. (Look how smokey the background is... it's terrible in Northern California right now! It was even a little clearer on beach day)

A birthday dinner at a favorite Tahoe Mexican Resturant. Yummy, fried ice cream!

Sounds like such a fun trip and Happy Belated Birthday! That's so fun that Mike got to see those celebrities and it's just like you to make an incredible sand castle!
