Lake Tahoe 2010

This Summer's family trip was a relaxing getaway

to beautiful Lake Tahoe's North Shore

where we stayed for 3 fun days and

3 cozy nights in this quaint little condo.

Brad and I had our own suite downstairs,

and the kids shared this king-sized loft

up in the treetops.

Every morning the kids went swimming in

this beautiful, quiet, heated pool...

before we headed off for our daily adventures.

We spent the first day at King's Beach
taking turns with our kayak

and "swimming" in the frigid Tahoe waters.
(That snow on the mountains
should give you some indication of why
they were only waist deep!)


The second day we traveled to South Shore
where Camille, Adam and I went on a horseback ride
through the mountains (it was fabulous!!),

and then we headed to the beach for an afternoon of sun.

Brad rented a jet ski for a couple of hours

(his favorite part of the trip)

and took each of the kids out for a joy ride.

Two other highlights of our trip were discovering

this wonderful miniature golf course-

the best one you'll ever find anywhere-

and spending the third day at this small, isolated beach with the

best rock-hopping, crawdad catching and sunbathing

you'll ever find in Lake Tahoe anywhere!

(It was our favorite spot!)

It was such a wonderful week!

My favorite part was spending the evenings together

barbecuing our dinner on the porch

and watching World Cup Soccer matches as a family.

It was just perfect!
