After we left Wyoming we had a full day drive to Lake Tahoe. We got to our camp site next to the Truckee river at 12:36pm. I think it’s pretty obvious what we did then. SLEPT!!!! In the morning I made pancakes and hot chocolate. I laughed pretty hard when a chipmunk tried to run up my dad’s leg. We reserved a camping spot at Sugar Pine Campground and drove towards South Lake Tahoe. On the way we past beautiful Emerald Bay for a quick photo-op.
We stopped at the Tahoe Keys Marina (my dad can’t pass a marina without stopping to look at the boats) and decided to rent a jet ski.
We zoomed up the coastline and had lunch in Emerald Bay. Here we are in the middle of the lake taking turns jumping from Nevada to California.
We got back to our camp site, cooked a delicious dehydrated chicken teriyaki, and rode our bikes down to a general store for a fudgesicle. It was dark and a little spooky on the trail home. The forest smelled like Christmas trees.
We were still a little tired so we went to bed early. I fixed some awesome tasty omelettes in the morning. We jumped on our bikes and set off to ride the 1960 winter Olympics cross country ski track. Here is my tribute to Lady Liberty.
It was my Grandmother’s birthday so after a quick shower we drove down the mountain to Santa Cruz to have dinner with her and my Auntie Ne, Uncle Ted and cuz Jasmin. It was fun to see everyone, tell stories from out trip and hear stories of Ryan’s recent visit with them. More stories from the beach coming soon.
