It’s embarrassing how long it’s taken me to write this. School has been in for almost a month, and the week before we took the boys to Tahoe for an extended week-end. So, yeah, it’s been a month. Let’s pretend it’s only been a week, eh?
I’ll say that while this vacation was far from stress-free (the kids weren’t exactly angels), I got a whole new appreciation for Tahoe, to a point I would be 100% open to buying a second home there. To rent out while we’re not there, and for us to visit a few times a year. And when I say Tahoe, I’m pretty sure I mean Northstar. Shane found a 2 bedroom condo for us through an AirBNB, and it was perfect! Driving distance to the resort, quiet, REALLY kid friendly (internet, board games, furnished kitchen), AND it came with passes to the Northstar pool area which gave us something to do.
G’s major score was Walking With Dinosaurs. He had watched it in his kinder class, and really wanted to watch it with us too, but it was hard to figure out which one of the dozen series they watched. Luckily for us though, the ONE show he wanted was the one the owners had to share in their video library. We brought our own movies rented from the library too.
We took a hike, went to the lake for dinner with the kids. Most of our calm time was back at the condo, but it was still a trip I look back on pretty fondly.
