Day 1 - Cows and Crops

Our morning started at 3 AM and we were packed and out the door at 4 AM. Unlike our past trips to Tahoe, we opted to take I-5 up California instead of Highway 395. After we passed over the Grapevine, we were in the midst of cows and crops. The lovely stench of daisy farm cows stuck in the car way too long. At least with all the rain we have experienced this winter, the fields were lush and green, stretching as far as the eye can see. And the sunrise was amazing!



With only a few gas and potty breaks, we cruised into South Lake Tahoe around 1:00 PM. There isn't as much snow on the ground as we had expected but it is spring after all. Since it was too early to check in, we headed straight to The Brewery at Lake Tahoe for a few of our favorite pilsners. All was right with the world at that point.


After walking Heavenly Village, we checked in, unloaded, and crashed on the bed for a much-needed nap. We're resting up for a week of boarding and fun in the snow. Tomorrow is questionable with weather conditions so we'll wait and see how the day pans out. But as of right now, we say that we're "finally back home."
