Before and after a great dinner Joyce prepared (including ollallaberry pie - I have no idea how to spell that, but it's very good) we spent hours talking about college days and about our kids and grandkids and parents. Since Paul is also a pastor, we talked some shop as well.
Lake Tahoe is a drive through the Sierras from Yuba City and we chose the scenic route. Must have been a light snow last night. The trees had a perfect dusting, but the roads (for the most part) were clear.
Tahoe is another beautiful part of CA (and Nevada). If you remember the map (that burns up) at the beginning of "Bonanza", Tahoe is the western border of the Ponderosa Ranch. We stopped for lunch in Tahoe City at Rosie's, took a couple of pics there of the lake, then drove north to south along the shoreline on Hwy 20. It was pretty cold up there!
Our stop for the night is in Carson City, NV, the capitol of the state, located in the valley below Tahoe. Like most hotels, this one has a casino. Lots of "mature" people in there, sitting around smoking looking at machines. No one looks like their having a whole lot of fun.
Tomorrow is a long travel day to get to Vegas. Gail insists I need to see it. I can't figure out why she asked me for all my quarters. She just did the laundry last night.
Just remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - have fun
