Today we are looking at part one of the first vacation. Tahoe. I'm not going to remotely attempt to sum up the trip with words. That is more adequately done here on my wife's blog. Here are just some more pics with a few linking comments.
Following Sunday services we packed in the Santa Fe and travled out to our campsite at D.L Bliss in Tahoe. We arrived late, set up the tent in the dark and then spent most of a week enjoying what the lake had to offer. Halfway through this time we moved to another campground (per previous reservation) in Tahoe City. It was a perfect setting to enjoy time together in God's creation. You can see some of the beauty captured in this early AM photo taken by my wife our first morning at the lake.
We spent the 4th at the Lake observing fireworks from the distant South Shore. They were spectacular even as far away as we were. Earlier in the day Garrett made a couple friends from a nearby site. They spent time playing, waving flags and eating smores.
Part of the fun of camping is getting away from it all. Its amazing how much wonder can be found in a campground stump when it is not competing with television or handheld video games.
One of the highlights of our trip was Sand Harbor. It's probably our favorite beach at the lake. Sure, the day use fee is excessive put there is crawdadding amidst giant boulders . . .
And there is jumping off those giant boulders into the cold blue waters . . .
Garrett also enjoyed this facet . . .
We also played at local parks, met friends, ate out, cooked over a camp stove and even saw a bear.
Of course when the time came for the next leg of our adventure we left the lake, but not before stopping to camp in the shadow of another one of God's scenic creations (Mount Shasta).
And if the scenery wasn't enough the boys got the added bonus of staying in a Kozy Kabin at the nearby KOA. It was a hit.
