Thanksgiving
|
This Thanksgiving, instead of having a big dinner for 20+ people, we spent the weekend at a house in Truckee, CA! The girls were very pumped to see the snow (and we hoped to show them some ;-) |
 |
 |
HERE's where we stayed- one of MJ's MBA buddies (Martin) has a house up there and he let us use it. It was a really nice place and very well equipped- perfect for our crew! |
|
Unfortunately there wasn't any snow on the ground to speak of. It did snow a bit the night we arrived. MJ and George didn't get up quick enough the next day; and we got this note: |
 |
 |
Not really enough for a proper snowman, but enough to get cold and wet ;-) |
| Two girls learning that snowballs are cold. |  |
 |
One day we took a ride down by Lake Tahoe. We found a little kids park there. HERE's Taylor climbing the rock. |

Another day we took the Gondola ride up to the top of Squaw. HERE's Taylor, Jordan and MJ en route. |
| The view out the back window is impressive! |  |

George with the girls up at the top of Squaw- 9300'. |
| There was a little more snow up there- enough to make a mini-snowman and snow angels. |  |
 |
A day outside can tucker you out. |
|
Another day we went skating at Northstar. HERE's MJ helping Jordan around the rink. |

 |
Two skating girls ;-) |
|
But the best part of skating was the rink-side gas-fired fire pits and comfy chairs- you could get off the ice and relax with a beverage and warm up all at once! (and Starbucks was only 50' away!) |

 |
All in all, a terrific time was had by all. Let's hope for more snow the next time we come! |
