Hello from Lake Tahoe - Nevada & California.
I can’t believe our vacation is about to come to an end. While I am not ready to make the long drive home, I am glad that I have a few more days until I actually return to real life, aka work.
Every time I make a drive to Jordan Valley, I just have to pop in for some ice cream. Being the responsible WWer I am, I got a kiddie cone sized Rocky Road. It was delicious.
About 7ish hour later, we arrived in Lake Tahoe.
It is an interesting mix of beautiful landscape and apparently it is also bear season. Thankfully, we have not spotted any.
We were tried from our drive so on Saturday night we stayed close to the condo for dinner at Fox and Hound where we tried two types of BBQ and enjoyed every bite. The corn muffin was also amazing.
Sunday was our first full day in Tahoe. We ventured to the casinos in Stateline, Nevada as there was free parking at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel.
The wait for food was way too long so we crossed over to Harrah’s on the other side of the roadway where the wait at their restaurant was more reasonable. I had the best Ruben sandwich which I asked to be served on the in-house baked pretzel bun. Oh man was it delicious!
We did some gambling at both Harrah’s and Harvey’s, the casino next door, and left after Kenyon won about $180 and I had lost about $80.
Later that evening, we ventured back “downtown” crossing into the California side.
We parked in the Heavenly Village area, which was bursting with people on a Sunday evening. It was a bit too expensive to ride the gondola which was right in the center of the village.
Our dinner selection was a German restaurant called A Taste Of Europe. It was ah-mazing. I was so ready for a German beer and boy did it hit the spot.
Afterwards we crossed over to the Village area where I spotted a speciality ice cream cookie shop called The Baked Bear. We also took home a dozen of the day old cookies. Oh yum!
I’ll recap the rest of our vacation soon.
