Tahoe Day One

August 9th, 2008

Two weeks ago, instead of sitting in my living room sipping wine, eating Milanos, and watching Hope Floats, I was in beautiful Lake Tahoe with my family. Spending a weekend at home has finally given me the opportunity to edit the photos from our first day on vacation. Prior to the vacation, my mom had found Captain Steve, a guy who not only had a boat, but his business is to take you out, give you a tour of the lake, and he also had everything you would need for any time of water sport you could think of. We went tubing, kneeboarding, and wakeboarding. Of course I was only up on the wake board for .25 seconds, but it was still so fun. Lake Tahoe is so beautiful and the lake was so big, that a drive on the lake was actually peaceful. You didn’t have to spend your time trying to maneuver around boat traffic. Captain Steve even provided a lot of history about the lake and surrounding areas. It was such a wonderful day, though any day spent out on a boat is a day very well spent.

I ended up taking much more pictures than I thought I would. So I will just let you enjoy them.

    Your photos are just lovely! That water is unreal. Oh, how I want to go! :) Oh, and I love the toes photo. I’m always one to take those types of photos, too, for some reason. Heehee.

    PS: Don’t feel bad about the whole wakeboarding thing. I tried once, and I only made it up about as long as you. I’ll now stick with kneeboarding, when I can. Heehee.

    Jamie your avatar is so cute!! Hi Edie!!

    Kerri,

    Yeah with the wakeboarding, I was completely not expecting to get up since I hadn’t the two other times I’ve been out on boats and tried. So when I go up my face had sheer shock on it, and then I just crashed and burned. The next two times I tried that day were failures from the start because then I started trying and once you try to get up.. you won’t. I did like the kneeboarding, and I’ll probably stick with that too.
