Lake Tahoe Recap

Wow - what a ride! The Lake Tahoe vacation has been one adventure after another. Record snow, being the gang's chauffeur, snow skiing for the first time, watching Chasen sled down a hill (I should have joined him), watching Chasen jump from the upper-level hot tub balcony into the mountain of snow below, having our rental car dented by a drunk across the road from our cabin (grrrr!), listening to endless hours of movie-quoting by Chasen and his buds... the list goes on and on! The only thing that did not make the list is running, to my disappointment. But it was just too snowy and I did not want to risk injury all for the sake of being able to say that I ran in California.

Here are a few choice photos.

Here I am conquering the bunny slope!


Crazy Chasen leaping from the second-floor balcony into the person-tall snow below.

Me, preparing our rental car for a trip out.

Typical view driving about town... in low gear.

Our handsome group! L-R: Susan, Chasen, Julie, Nathan, Stephane, Patrick

Chasen, sledding like a champion.

View from our front door - there used to be steps there - ha!

Chasen caught this short clip of me skiing. It looks like I am going super slow - but it felt really fast to me!

Now back to reality. :( We have a LONG day of travel on Monday. Effective Wednesday I am back into marathon training!
