K. So we had our bags packed, truck packed, camping gear, and food packed and time on our hands...approximately 6 days of ridiculous fun. Our plan was to go to the Grand Canyon, but the morning we were leaving, we double checked the i-net weather and their were rainstorms every single flippin day. So, we quickly changed our plans and decided that we really wanted to go to Yosemite, California. We were so excited and we jumped in the truck, bought some sunflower seeds and cold drinks and headed out of town...
Oh. I bought suckers too. As we were passing through Nevada, Dave and Criff thought it would be fun to stop by Lake Tahoe and just check it out and take a few pictures. As we got closer and closer...we were in love with this place. The pine trees, the beautiful lake, the singing birds and the fresh air of the outdoors! So we took some pictures and then said to eachother how fun it would be to camp there! Plus we were tired of driving!
We all fell into the peer pressure of our peers and found a campspot at the glorious Lake Tahoe!!! When we finally found a site that wasn't booked, we set up camp!!! I loved where we camped because their were running showers, toilets, and a lake really closeby. Dave was hoping to camp further away from other people and I think he was hoping to see some wild bears. But we all know I would not let this happen to us. It was not going to turn into a "Thomas Family Vacation" is what I call Dave's family and their vacations. It seems like something crazy or "a fond memory" always seems to happen and I wasn't going to be part of that on this trip, at least!
See that pink bag on the top of everything in the back of the Tacoma? Well, that is my bag and I thought it was going to be gone by the time we got their, but I was continually reminded that it was tied down and safe and nothing bad would happen to it. It made it safe.
Our campsot and our final destination! I'm so glad we stayed at Lake Tahoe for this trip! We had the best time ever and I'll go back anytime! Maybe on our next trip, we will make it past Lake Tahoe. Just maybe.
I've included a ton of pictures on my blog of this trip because I've decided this is kind of like my journal/ scrapbook/ and a fun way to keep in touch. We'll, actually Danielle said that and I said slug bug no touchies...so there.
