Travel Tips: Tahoe

Went to Tahoe last weekend for Labor Dayzz. Been busy, so I'm just getting around to posting. 15 of us rented two houses off Pioneer Street in South Shore (South Lake Tahoe). Hot tubs and home cooked meals after a hard day of playing outside sums up the experience:

Friday night:
Arrive in Reno and drive to Tahoe. Groceries, alchohol then off to the residence. Hot tub was turned on immediately. Drinking soon followed.

Saturday:
Hangovers all around. Aaron makes a killer breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, warm tortillas and salsa. Off to hike Mt. Tallac (9,750 feet). Not for the faint of exercise, this hike proved to be quite challenging but everyone made it to the top and back down - this is a good link to check out the experience:

Later, completely exhausted, Rich and I get steaks from Albertson's and grill 'em up Florentine style. Yeah baby!!

Sunday:
Kayaking on Lake Tahoe. Evening was spent at Caesar's Resort and Casino eating at their suprisingly good Italian restaurant 'Primavera'. I had basil sea bass with red pepper mashed potatoes. AnalogJen and Rich were there as well. Later we played Pai Gow and single deck, $15 min. Blackjack.

Monday:
Checked out of the house at 11am. Went into town to the North Face store and had an awful lunch (mine as well as several others). The drive back to Reno via Route 28 was awesome!!! Same link has pics of the drive:

Late flight back to Phx and everyone's exhausted. Can't wait for the next trip...
