Lake Tahoe

Well, we survived our first time away from Nick. Last Thursday Grant and I set out up to Lake Tahoe for a weekend away. We missed Nicolas terribly but we had a great time. It was a beautiful place filled with lots of stuff to do. We stopped at REI on the way up to get me a few things so I could join Grant hiking. We had 2 great hikes. The first was up Mt. Tallac to Cathedral Lake. We made it about 2/3 of the way there when we encountered a bear and quickly turned around and made our way down the mountain. It snowed most of the day but it was a great hike nonetheless...

Our second hike started at Lily Lake and was a beautiful hike along several waterfalls. Again, it snowed but it was well worth it.

All in all, Grant and I decided we would definitely go back. Although next time, we'd like to bring Nicky along. It just isn't the same without him :).
