We both live in such fun places, that for almost 20 years, just visiting one another and exploring each other's states has been wonderful. But, for the first time, we tried something new and took a real vacation WITH Heather and Andrew and it was awesome! We are just returning from 5 days shared in Lake Tahoe and my phone is bursting with an abundance of gorgeous scenery pictures. Heather and Andrew flew into Reno and met us at the most perfect little condo in the woods on the north side of the lake, in Incline Village, NV. Our home for the short week was in one of the most ritzy, lakefront neighborhoods I've ever seen, actually called "Billionaire's Row". We loved having a place with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen to do all our own meal-making in, and plenty of space to spread out and play games each night, after coming in from adventuring all day and watching the sun set over the lake.
We spent our first afternoon catching up and and just walking 3 miles around our jaw-dropping neighborhood.
Our first full day together was spent exploring the south side of the lake. We tried a new-to-us hike up to Eagle Falls in Emerald Bay. It was short and easy, but straight uphill. Gorgeous views of the water tumbling down the cliff into the lake was our reward!
But, of course, stunning views are not Delia's idea of a satisfying reward for hiking several miles and the equivalent of 25 stories! ;) So, we stopped at the lake's most famous ice cream shop in Camp Richardson, where the line is always waaaay out the door. Even in the downpouring rain and thunder! We huddled under our outdoor table's umbrella as a lovely storm rolled in. This was one of my favorite memories of the trip!
Next up was a stroll around the Heavenly Ski Village, where a little souvenir shopping and a picture in the famous giant chair are a must.
As we swung around the lake and made our way back up to the north side, we stopped at a new-to-us beach at Zephyr Cove! Wowza! This pretty beach was such a lovely surprise! We'll have to keep it on our list of places to revisit in Tahoe!
We ordered some pizza and put our sore leg muscles up to end a great day by laughing and playing Jackbox games.
