Just a little peek into my life. =)
I took a little mini getaway with my friends this past weekend. We went to Lake Tahoe at the border of California and Nevada to a ski resort called Northstar.
I haven’t seen snow in so long I was excited. I think it’s been five years. lol. I would never survive living in the freezing cold winter weather, but I love the idea of snow and seeing it temporarily.
We were actually there to snowboard/ski. Considering that I’ve done it once, five years ago, the last time I saw snow, I was a little more than apprehensive. But it was soo fun. And it was the perfect way to get my mind off all my worries, even for just a little while. Northstar was so impressive with all their slopes. It was super crowded too. I wish I took photos of the slope, but I was too busy falling from my snowboard to take out my phone for photos.
Here are some photos of Lake Tahoe. We were really there for Northstar, but when my friends heard I’ve never been to Lake Tahoe, they made a detour.
I have no idea why there’s a random rock in the lake.
We wanted to take out a boat onto the lake, but for obvious reasons (winter), there weren’t any. Lol.
On our way back, we stopped by Old Sacramento, where the stores and restaurants look as though they came straight out of the Wild West. So cute! Trains that tour the Sacramento River, horse drawn carriages, ventriloquists entertaining at the corner (though to be honest, I’m a little afraid of them).
If you have a chance, do visit. And stop by Fat City Bar & Café. They have the best Banana Cream Pie. They use fresh bananas. It’s so popular that they won’t let you buy a whole pie unless you order in advance. I ordered a crab and artichoke dip with bread for lunch. Yes, I had dip for lunch. I had to live it up after all that hard falling I did while trying to learn how to snowboard.
I just wanted to give you a little peek into my life.
Hope you guys had as great of a weekend as I did!
killer photography! looks great!
Thank you!
Hi! The food looks amazing! Looking outward to seeing what your cooking up next!!
Thank you!
That post makes me hungry … for Pie and seeing Lake Tahoe 🙂
That pie was definitely good. I want to try making something similar to it =)
Andrea,
Hi. Visiting food blogs is always so dangerous. I just want to go out and eat. You pics of Tahoe remind me when I lived in northern California and would occasionally visit that area. I also wanted to thank you for visiting my blog, http://www.lostinsiouxland.com. Keep up the good work.

You’re welcome! Thank you for stopping by!
Amazing photographs, just like being there! The narrative was travelogue of the highest order. Thank you, too, for liking my fledgling blog.
Thank you for visiting!
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by my site. I appreciate the support. I’ve never been to Lake Tahoe…but you’ve made me want to go! Happy weekend. JT
Have a great weekend! =)
The “random rock” really makes that photograph special. Very nice shot!
Thank you!
We got out that way this past summer (we’re from Virginia) so it is fun to hear what it is like to live out there! I agree, the bread looks delicious.
The bread and dip look delicious! I would definitely have that for lunch too 🙂
Sounds like you had a perfect getaway (even with falling off the snowboard!). While it’s hard for us in northern climes to imagine not seeing snow for years at a time, since I have Florida grandchildren who have rarely or never seen it, I can understand it. Thank you for liking my blog.
