1500 miles later
July 8, 2009Wow – long weekend! I don’t really have the energy to go into great detail, so here’s some quick facts/pictures.
Thursday was spent painting and packing. Layer 2 (palm trees on the horizon) is finished!
After making a fancy schmancy spaghetti sauce (NOT! I just added sauteed onions, garlic, rosemary, and parsley to the canned sweet pepper sauce we bought) to go with the pasta and meatballs, we hit the road. I was a road warrior and drove all the way to Sacramento (6:30pm until 2:30am) with only 2 short gas stops. I know, I’m amazing. We stayed at a hotel right by Sac. State and survived. I got really freaked out by a 3:30 am phone call from a breathy voice saying that he had seen me in the parking lot and thought we should get to know each other better. I didn’t sleep well after that, but we were up early (8ish, I believe) to start the drive to Tahoe.
We spend Friday morning through Sunday morning at the KOA Kampground in South Lake Tahoe. It was gorgeous and good times were had at the Beacon:
Chrissy and I also had a great time on the Nevada side exploring the different shops and watching the gondolas. Then we headed down Stateline to the beach-side park to stake out good seats for some fireworks action:
We threw the softball a bit, bumped the volleyball a bit, played Apples to Apples, and settled back to watch the fireworks. Kim and Larry were along with us for this year’s trip (last year it was our other good friends, Scott and Sarah):
And here’s the Mr. and I looking a bit silly:
After a 2-hour drive back to the campsite (bumper-to-bumper!!!), we caught a few z’s for the drive back down the mountain.
Sunday was spent at Dave’s pool in Sacramento and taking old time style photos in Old Sac (perhaps they will be scanned in for future viewage lol). Monday was another driving day and then softball at night (we lost for the first time this season, by 1 run). Tuesday was spent having lunch with the men (Lil Pepper!), checking out the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, and enjoying snow cones.
Today I got up super early to drive Kim to the airport (I left at 4am) at which time I realized that I had driven 1500 miles since Thursday. After returning home, I spent the day prepping for this weekend’s wedding and playing silly computer games. 
I’m excited for the first day of my ballet class tomorrow!
Too tired to post more. Night!
