Day Four

Is anywhere--anywhere--as amazing as Lake Tahoe?

Yesterday, Dave and I sat on the patio of Gar Woods grill, overlooking the glassy lake, and decided that this wins first place in the natural beauty category.

It doesn't matter that the weather's not perfect. This, plus the state of the economy, has seriously dwindled the number of tourists. We're all alone on sandy beaches and at resort restaurants.

There's no cell phone reception at our cabin. No Internet, either. But we're not at the withdrawl stage yet.

For two nights, we traded in Dominic and Rees for a fourteen year-old niece, and today we're getting two high school juniors.

What can we do with all these crazy teenagers? Just pack up a huge cooler and hit Sand Harbor, of course!
