tahoe weekend wedding

We drove up to Lake Tahoe this weekend to watch some amazing people become an even more amazing couple.

It was a gorgeous wedding overlooking the beach with a gorgeous mountain backdrop.  Even more gorgeous was how the groom couldn't stop staring at his bride.

This is the one photo I took at the wedding.  I read this a while ago and decided to put my phone away, let the professional photographers document the occasion and just enjoy myself and celebrate.  Congrats E&H!

The morning of the wedding Dan and I walked around the lake.  

I love Tahoe.  It reminds me that I live in such a fantastic place: California. 

Beaches, ocean, mountains, cities, country, vineyards, snow, sun, we've got it all.

Dan skipped rocks.  

I can't.  It's like whistling {another skill I don't possess} the harder I try the worse it looks.

P.S. Did I mention I'm marrying this guy in less than 3 weeks :)

Weekend in Tahoe

We're back from an amazing weekend in Tahoe.  I don't know how we got so lucky - there was barely any traffic up and back, the weather was perfect on the mountain, and the company was amazing. Oh, and Tahoe was absolutely gorgeous.

I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful friends. So much thanks to these two for inviting us up!

It was mine and Dan's first time skiing together, and I managed not to look like a fool. :)  For which I was extremely happy.

Lunch on the mountain.

Snowboarders.

Our snowy street.

Morning walk down to the beach.

Homemade cinnamon rolls for a breakfast appetizer. :)

The Chefs.

Even bears like Tequila :)

Playing in the snow / sand.

Have a great week!

Gone to Lake Tahoe for a weekend of skiing, snowboarding, sledding, hot tubbing, hot chocolate, great friends, good food, good wine and any other shenanigans we can get ourselves into!

Hope your weekend's lovely!

P.S. One of my very first posts was about our weekend in Tahoe. This year there will be snow though! :)

Weekend in Tahoe

One of my favorite places in the world is where the sand meets the water.

One of the great things about living in California is that's it's pretty easy to get there. Beach, mountains, lake, are all nearby. I feel very blessed.

Last weekend, some extremely generous friends invited us to their house in Tahoe.
{generous friends: B&P}

We spent the days canoeing and boating on the lake, trying to turn Pacino into an adventure dog {he's a bit afraid of the water} and taking in as much sun as possible.

{safety first}

It was one of those perfect laid back summer weekends.

Hope your weekend was wonderful too! xoxo

New Years 2012

It's turned into a bit of a tradition to spend New Years up in Tahoe. With absolutely no snow this year, skiing wasn't possible. Just friends, good food, great drinks and gorgeous scenery.
