Tahoe....

In case I never mentioned it, I was born up at Lake Tahoe. I wish I had never left. It is so majestic, peaceful, and I really feel so at home up there. But, unless you are in construction or the skiing or hospitality industry, it's tough to make a living up there. Maybe I will go back upon retiring....

This summer I went up to Tahoe to visit our friends Annie and Reuben, to go to a friend Michelle's wedding, and to take some time off after the tumultuous break from my old company. I got to go boating, see old friends get married, took walks, cooked great food with my friends, spent time at the beach, spent time with my mom, my sister, Aaron, Peroni, Tucker (Annie and Reuben's dog), went to a couple of bars, restaurants, etc. It was just what I needed and I left feeling much more relaxed and at peace then when I got there.

Here is Reuben on his boat....where he belongs!

Aaron and that lovely Tahoe Blue....

I'm happy!!!

Two of my favorite guys.....

Thunderbird Lodge.....

Love.....

 This is the boat area at the Thunderbird Lodge. I have never seen it open before! I have seen their boat (a classic woody) riding around the lake...

 Friends!!! I have known some of these people since before kindergarten!

 See what I mean about feeling at peace???

 Peroni, don't you think you could help?

 Here we are getting ready for the wedding....

At the wedding....

 Matching Glasses?

 Mom looking quite cute....

 My dad used to have a softball team "Scott Construction". This picture is still hanging in a bar in Tahoe City called Pete and Peter's!!! It has been there almost as long as I have been alive! It's really sad, many of these men are dead. My dad is third in from the left on top....

 This was an amazing chocolate souffle that Annie cooked for us....

 Here is the famous Pete and Peter's.....

Aaron, Reuben and I all jumped off this rock. 

 Mom looking cute again....

 Aaron taking the jump!!!

 I am the captain of this ship!!!!!

 Looking at giant birds nests...

 The nest is at the top of the dead tree.....

 Mom ended up getting stuck up at Tahoe for an extra day, so I decided to stay too. We ended up going to the beach and then had a beer at this cute little bar on the beach. It was the most relaxing day I had up there. The rest of the trip was pretty darned busy. 

 This is Tucker....an incredibly sweet and hyper puppy!!!

Tahoe is always such a nice reprieve. I prefer it in the summer, but would love to head up in the winter again too. I highly recommend it!
