Family Trip to Lake Tahoe

What a great week our family had in South Lake Tahoe. Too bad all the new snow fell the week before we arrived. I guess it was ok since I could get Susan to drive and drop us off 50 yards from the Gondola. What a deal.

I had a tough time with my rented boots but the scars from the blisters around the top of my socks earned the 4 of us a 20 % discount on the rentals. Not bad $100+ savings for a little PAIN!!!!.

The girls and Jaime and I skied 4 days and Mom got to be a full time MOM for a week. Dinner on the table by 6PM or sooner every day.

Our friends from Sacramento Bill and Nancy Forrester and Carson City Terry and Chris Philbin drove over to the Condo for a Tuesday evening dinner and visit. Susan made great lasagna Bill and Nancy brought sierra Nevada and Red Hook Terry and Chris provided a white wine. It was really great to hook up with good friends from FHWA.

All went well till the trip home. Susan Karen and I were on Delta and got a nasty surprise in Salt Lake City when I got on the phone hoping for a First Class Upgrade. Our incoming plane was delayed by mechanical problem and we would not make our Dallas to Austin connection. Stay in Salt Lake or Dallas?? We decided on Dallas and a rental car to Austin. Then the FOG delayed again and well at least I got my upgrade we got our Hertz and got home at 3am instead of 8 PM.

I'll be posting a few pictures.
