A weekend in Tahoe

The first fish of the weekend

My big fish!


A few weekends back Jack and I spent the weekend in Tahoe with some friends.  Lots of food, laughter and beer made for a great weekend!  Jack was definitely excited to take the boat up to the lake for the first time.  We had some difficulties with one of the breaks on the trailer seizing up.  This left us stranded at a gas station for over an hour.  It definitely reminded me of the broken down station wagon on family road trips as a child.  Friday night was filled with food, games and of course beer.  Saturday morning after breakfast the guys headed out on the boat to catch our dinner (we had groceries just in case) and the the girls and I went shopping and had drinks over looking the lake.  When the guys finally gave up Jack dropped them off and picked up us girls for our "booze cruise".  Of course we had a great time and within minutes I had caught the biggest fish of the weekend and the only of the day!  Saturday night was spent bbg'ing, playing some games of course and even a little gambling and small winnings at the Biltmore.  We concluded our weekend with a beautiful little hike up Eagle Rock and then lunch with friends on the river before heading home.  It was a great weekend filled with lots of food, beer and laughter!
