Nick and I took a while to decide on our summer vacation this year. We looked into camping at June Lake, relaxing in Las Vegas, or something completely different. We finally decided on a trip to Lake Tahoe. We're heading up 395 on Monday morning, stopping in Mammoth to see my Aunt Laura, stopping in Carson City, NV to see my grandparents, and ending up in South Lake Tahoe till Friday.
I searched high and low for a suitable hotel/condo/vacation home that wouldn't tap out our entire savings account, have bugs, and allow pets. We decided early on in our planning that we wanted to take our four-legged child, Kyla, with us on vacation. I found an awesome hotel right by Heavenly Resort that offers kitchenettes and allows dogs for a very small fee.
And so the planning has begun. If you know me, I'm a total "list person." I have lists for different stores we need to get supplies (Costco, Walmart, and the grocery store), items for Kyla, things for me, and odds and ends you just can't forget. Our goal is to take almost all our food to cut down on additional costs and help us be a bit more self sufficient. Imagine cooking all your meals on Sunday for the next 5 days of the week. It's a lot of work!
I've started searching the trail guide book I picked up and flagged different trails around Lake Tahoe for us to venture on. We're looking forward to becoming one with nature through hiking, canoeing, possibility some fishing, swimming in the lake, and enjoying each others company. I can't wait to show Kyla the sites of Lake Tahoe and possibly turn this into a Henry Family Tradition.
But first, I need to go make another list.......
