Heavenly

Well, I thought we had a very eventful weekend and then I checked out Mike’s blog and it seems that he had a MUCH more eventful weekend than us.

We had a heavenly weekend. That is, we went to Heavenly ski resort in Tahoe. Some friends of ours, Matt and Lori, won a free weekend deal at Caesar’s Palace and Heavenly and we joined them on Saturday for the skiing part.

It was fun to ski in two different states. We’d spend some time in California, head to the Nevada runs, and then head back to California to have lunch. The views were magnificent! You could see the lake from almost all the runs and, on one side of the mountain, you could see these big brown mountain ranges in the distance near Carson City. On one of the runs, it was terrifying (to me) because the trail was narrow and there was this ledge that dropped off into what seemed like an abyss. But over the ledge, you could also see views of the lake and other mountain peaks. It was incredible.

By the end of the day, our legs started to give out on us and we left to go into town and enjoy a quiet lakeside dinner with Matt and Lori. We enjoyed our time with these friends. I first met Lori in high school (at a summer camp) and, low and behold, her husband (Matt) ends up working with Kevin years later. They are so funny to be with - they crack us up.
