Lake Tahoe

We spent the week of Fourth of July at beautiful Lake Tahoe. This was our second trip to Tahoe. You may remember this post from two years ago. This trip had been booked for over a year and with the harsh temperatures here in Midland, we couldn't wait to get there!

The temperatures stayed in the 80's and cooled down to the 50's at night.

The first evening we ate at the hotel's fine dining restaurant the Lone Eagle. The hotel has a casino and we were able to do a little bit gambling through out the week.

The kids got to spend the evenings playing on the beach and making smores right outside the cottage.

Friday morning the grown-ups spent the morning at the spa enjoying facials and massages. After a spa morning we had lunch on the beach.

Played on the beach

We relaxed in our cabana taking in the beauty of the blue lake and snow covered mountains

Hannah couldn't get enough of it

Friday night we went on dinner cruise. The food was great and we had a wonderful time.

I was able to drive the boat!

Saturday morning the kids enjoyed a parade in Incline Village.

The kids loved spending their down time in the hammock.

We headed out on the lake again for a 4 hour lunch cruise.

That evening we had a wonderful dinner at Soule Domain. This restaurant is in a small cabin and owned by two brothers who both cook and wait tables. It was wonderful!

Sunday we enjoyed a brunch complete with mimosas and bloody marys! We were able to sit outside under heaters and enjoy the beautiful lake.

After brunch we took a gondola ride up the mountain to get a better view.

We played in the snow

Mommy didn't make the best shoe choice. Wedges are not recommended in the snow.

That evening we enjoyed another adult dinner at Big Water Grill. The food was as great as the view.

On the Fourth, we headed to Virginia City for a parade and lunch.

We spent the afternoon on a catamaran. We had a wonderful time and were served drinks, fresh fruit, and cheese and crackers. The lake was smooth and we just enjoyed sailing for a couple of hours.

After the catamaran we headed up the beach for a BBQ on the lawn. Later that night we sat outside and watched an incredible fireworks show over the lake from right outside our cottage.

We had a wonderful vacation. We truly appreciate the beautiful scenery and cool temperatures. Thanks Mimi and Pops for taking us on such a fabulous vacation and for bringing Lisa and Audrey to help with the kids. We couldn't have enjoyed this more!!!!
