Lake Tahoe

Tahoe Overlook Panorama

We’ve been back for nearly 4 weeks now, but I finally got all of the pictures posted to Flickr.  We spent a week in Lake Tahoe for family vacation during the week of the 4th of July.  We’ve never been to Lake Tahoe before so it was all new and we had a really good, relaxing time.

We stayed at The Ridge Resort.  It wasn’t down on the lake, but instead up at the top of a mountain overlooking Carson Valley.  It was a really nice resort.  The room we had was great and they had a lot of activities to keep the kids busy: swimming, hot tubs, raquetball courts, miniature golf, etc.

We did a lot of hiking and saw some great scenery.  The lake is huge and blue… I mean really blue.  We rented a power boat for a half day and crusied around the lake, with the kids (and myself) taking turns being dragged around in a tube.  Lunch while floating in Emerald Bay, it was great.  We spent another day driving the entire route around the lake, making stops along the way.

We all liked it and I’m sure we’ll go back sometime.  Probably not over the 4th of July next time though.  The beginning of the week was great, but it did get a little crowded on Friday and Saturday.

So all the pictures are posted and you can see a slideshow on Flickr.
