Following the wildfires... (Part 2 of 3)

About three days after getting home from our "PCH road trip" we got back in the gas guzzling SUV and headed to Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July to hang with our friends Lesley and Mike at Lesley's parent's cabin for the long weekend. Apparently every one else in the bay area had the same idea we did since it took us about 5 hours to drive up to Tahoe when it normally would take us no more than 3. Oh well, it was worth it!



We drank....






Played caps....


By the way, many of you will be happy to know that Mike has succesfully introduced caps to our Bay Area friends...I'm not sure how the wives feel about it but the guys sure do love the game!


We climbed trees for the hell of it...

We visited Nevada's Oldest Saloon (that pales in comparison to The Chicken in College Station, TX)....


We gambled....


We enjoyed nature....




And we played frisbee golf. And although my Mike got one of Lesley's Mike's frisbees stuck in a tree, we still overall played well.

All in all it was a very relaxing and much needed weekend away. We tried not to let the 6 hour ride home (on my birthday nonetheless) ruin our good weekend. And on our lunch stop at (ahem) Taco Bell, the wind shifted and we were in the middle of some heavy smoke from Wildfire #3!
