Lake Tahoe Vacation!!!!!


Lake Tahoe was an ADULT only vacation. Tom and I went with Dan and Colleen Millett and what a time we had. This is a collage of the sights we saw from the jet ski. The water was so clear and turquoise blue. You could see the bottom of the lake and it had fools gold in it. Cold yes but that's what wet suits are for. It had some great beaches and we enjoyed the lake from top to bottom and side to side. My favorite was Emerald Bay. So beautiful and lots of history.




This is a video that Colleen took ( she was brave enough to do this while on their jet ski and in the storm) of Tom and I on the jet ski trying to out run the storm. Notice the black clouds. The waves were so big and we were getting some major air. Tom said it perfectly the water is
ANGRY. It was a crazy ride but SO much fun.




These next pictures were from our bike ride. We went on this bike trail and it was great. Over some winding forest parts and some old wood planked bridges which had creeks running through them. this was one of my best bike rides, we had it all, wind, rain and a nice sandy beach to park at and swim to cool off. How could one not love this. I loved being able to just enjoy the ride as well as the beautiful scenery. No matter where we went we had the best views and a lot of historic places that we stumbled upon on our rides. We had the ultimate weather and great friends to enjoy it with.



This picture is at the Blue Agave where the day before we ate lunch at in our wet suits as it rained and hailed on us. We anchored our jet skis and waited out the storm. We had the best chile relleno ever.
Tom and I with Colleen and Dan had some cultural entertainment at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. We saw "Much Ado About Nothing". A modern take on Shakespeare. Once we found our seats which we thought were assigned we learned quickly that you just take any lawn chair on the sand and that's your seat. Us girls found a row that was somewhat in the middle and got comfy. Until we realized our seats were rather upright. I commented that i need to fix my chair and this couple behind us said with a laugh get the shovel man. We laughed and thought it was a joke. Until this lady asked if we needed anything to which I stated a shovel man. Waiting to be laughed at, she called her husband over to shovel out our seats to make them more level. Hence the photos.



This was the stage. It was right on the beach and it was a laid back evening with BYOB and food. It was at sunset and the weather could not have been more perfect. A beautiful evening with my wonderful husband. The play was great had some laughs and came away with a new understanding of Shakespeare.
