Lake Tahoe

We Found Area 51 if anyone was wondering
Not as fun of a drive as you would think
Emerald Bay

This tree is huge as you can tell by the bottom of the trunk


Kurt and I went to Lake Tahoe, it was like our official honeymoon you could say. The drive there is the worst drive I have ever had to go on, 9 1/2 hours of absolutely nothing. We had so much fun though, we went hiking a lot and played tennis and went bike riding. One day we went river rafting, but I took pictures of that with a waterproof camera, so there are none on here. We ate out a lot at tons of different types of food places; american, mongolian, thai, mexican, expensive, cheap, very delicious, and some not so good. It was a very enjoyable trip where we were able to do anything and everything that we wanted and then absolutely nothing. Just a time to relax and have quality time with one another before we wont see each other once school starts. We were really lucky, when we checked in they had up-graded us to a room with a full kitchen and family room, and a king size bed. And we apparently were too excited the first day, because we had locked ourselves out of our room. I would love to go back there  but it is just too far of a drive that I never want to drive again. 

The water is so clear, its so gorgeous

Yes, I got my face painted....but for FREE

Trying to double on the Skurfbord
Kurt and I were so very grateful that we were able to take time off and go on the annual Lake Powell trip with my family. Unfortunately, Kurt was unable to go last year and so this was his first time going to LP with my family and his first trip all together with them. I always love LP because you don't have to worry about anything and you can just be in your swim suit all day and just relax and get away from school and work and life all together. My good friends, the Runias were there and they took us out on their boat and taught us how to skurf, and let us borrow their skurfboard the rest of the trip. It was Kurt's first time and he did really good. I think knowing how to wakeskate helped him out a lot. Can't wait until next Lake Powell trip!
