Five days in Tahoe

Last Saturday I drove to Tahoe and spent five glorious days. The weather was great with only one day and wind and rain. The outdoor pool was warm with steam rising and the spa was perfect in the cold mountain air.
Three books, lots of walks in the mountains,
and plenty of football and then it was sadly enough time to come home. This was a much needed rest and now I'm ready for another three months of work and crazy schedules. Bring on Christmas!

Fun and Games
















This week we had a great time spending time together as a family. Tesha hosted a surprise belated BD party for Shawn at RPM. It is an indoor race track for go carts and they really go!!!

We all got instructions and suited up in race attire, helmets and were assigned our cars. We had seven people on the track at one time for about 20 laps and had two different sessions. By the time I was finished, I felt like I was going 95 MPH and I still came in last place. Kevin had the best time of the day-- surprise--. I had motion sickness and a headache from pulling so many "Gs". After the races we shared BD cake with Shawn's friends who attended.

Kevin and I motored to San Francisco for a 49er football game at Candlestick Park. The weather was a little cold and windy but great for football. The Niners won 35 to 0 and made the Rams look silly. The traffic getting into and out of SF was bumper to bumper but we still had a great day. The fans and the tailgate partys were a hoot to watch.
