Dad and I took our first Road Trip! South Lake Tahoe was our destination - Highway 395 was our route. Tuesday, Oct. 26th was the departure date. All went well until we stopped at the Visitors Center in Lone Pine. Doug used the restroom and then reported that he was having a kidney stone attack! Yikes! We got in the car and I used the GPS to find the nearest hospital. Bishop was one hour away and we figured that was our best bet since the other towns are so small. So poor Dad had to hold on (the pain was slowly increasing) until we arrived at the small hospital. 2 hours later - all is fine and off we go! We stopped at Schotz Bakery (Lydia and Fr. Michael recommended it highly) and I had a great sandwich and Dad could only watch! (He couldn't eat for 2 hours!) We bought some awesome sourdough bread and got back onto the Hwy 395. The weather was wonderful, there was hardly any other cars on the road and we had all the most gorgeous scenery to ourselves. (You girls know how much your mother loves "scenes"!
We arrived at Lake Tahoe around 5:30pm and the timeshare was really nice. Even had a fireplace! We just relaxed that evening and looked forward to the week!
Wednesday: It was cold the night before and our fountain was frozen in the morning! We checked out the casinos and did a little gambling :) and then watched the World Series.
Thursday: Emerald Bay drive and some more gambling :)
Here's some great pictures from our fun weekend with Maryann and Brian:
