Sad goodbye

In a bit of sad news, my parents had to sell their condo in Tahoe :( They first bought it back in 1993 when I was still in high school and although it's given us years of fun Tahoe trips, the time came to sell it. Since the new owners are taking over at the end of the month, we decided that instead of a trip up to celebrate my brother's birthday in Portland, he'd come down and we'd do the celebrating in Tahoe instead! We haven't had all four of us there in awhile and it was nice to be able to celebrate my brother's bday, and say goodbye to the condo together!

We spent the weekend doing many of our favorite Tahoe activities, which means we ate a lot and spent a bunch of time sitting on the beach :) The weather was really nice, even on the HOT side, which is rare for Tahoe. I know we'll be back up to Tahoe again since it's one of our favorite places to go, but it will feel a little weird staying somewhere different at first. But then again, going to Tahoe is more about enjoying the lake and the mountains and the gorgeous scenery, and less about where you actually lay your head down to sleep :)

Yummy mango margaritas :)


Being silly :)


On the pier at the Hyatt-- favorite spot for drinks


BBQing-- who let them have control of the fire??


Lunch at the Rainbow Lodge on our way back down the mountain.

Boo hoo!! It was sad leaving the condo just as Liv says, but we are hoping that the new owners leave it on the rental program so we can continue to go back to "our" unit. It will be a lot less expensive than owning it! And we will have the freedom to try out some other rentals, perhaps a condo right on the lake, or even go camping!?! We're trying to be positive here, O.K.? It was wonderful having all four of us together, but it doesn't really matter where we are, we always have a lot of laughs, good food and drink, and a lot of love to pass around...Love my family, Mom

Tahoe was fun summer and winter! Snowboarding, and even cracked tailbones!

Good pictures, Liv. It was great to be together for the weekend.
