source 1. The awe - the Tahoe basin was formed about 2 million years ago. Two million years. And it's just so gorgeous! When we're driving up Spooner Summit from Reno and a little triangle of the Lake appears, it never fails to take my breath away. In my personal opinion, it is the definition of "God's country". This is Emerald Bay, just one little corner of the Lake. |
source 2. The size - Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America. It's kind of awesome. |
source 3. The color of the water - several shades of blue, my favorite color, and some green. |
5. Being up above it all - perched at 6,225 feet above sea level.
source 6. Dining next to the Lake at sunset. |
source 7. Mt. Tallac - I've climbed this mountain. Didn't I say something about God's country? (look carefully at the mountain) |
9. My Grama whom I haven't seen in the last 7 years and who hasn't met my son.
10. My best friend JHo, her husband and kids who I haven't seen since AJ's Baptism 5 years ago and whose son I haven't met, even though JHo named me a Godmother to him.
I am SO EXCITED for this trip! My mother is beyond generous for buying our plane tickets. I
This is breathtaking. Have a lovely trio Jen. Every single moment of it!

ReplyDeleteI've never been to Lake Tahoe, but your pics makes me want to go there. I love nature and that looks like a beautiful place! Maybe someday....
ReplyDeleteAhhh- home!!! My hubs grew up in Pollock Pines- so Tahoe is like his back yard. Love it there. Emerald Bay is my favorite place- I want that castle!!! There is also this awesome Mexican restaurant in North Shore that over looks the lake- perfect food & perfect view. There is a great wood fired pizza place by the Cal-Neva too, so yummy. Can you tell I like to eat?? :)
