c.a.l.i.f.o.r.n.i.a

california.... where to even start?
maybe the fact that i came with some of my favorite people, or the fact that we are always laughing?

hmmm let's seeeeeee..... well let us start off by leaving at 4:30 AM. ha ha

Me & Chase
Bret & LeNan (chase's dad & mom)
Benny & Karen (chase's grandparents)

the 6 of us make a pretty funny traveling team.




we stayed a night in Virgina City... at what Karen referred to as the "Bate's Motel"
... now let me explain this wonderful motel.  I don't know if it was the random tissue stuck in the wall, the pink butterflys engraved in the tub or the doiley lace curtains up over the windows that made this so antique-ish. I was REALLY woken up when i got in the shower around 6.  I had it turned ALL the way to hot and let it "warm up" for a few mintues.  I then proceded to jump in and turn the shower head on... i wasn't aware that i had jumped under a power washer that was made for 7 year olds.  I managed to do a nice back bend while trying to get the pressure just right.  and to top it all of the hot water was more a luke warm temperature.  It was just delightful!
LeNan than managed to wake up the rest of the place by setting the car alarm off at 7 am.  ha ha classic!

i thought it was so much fun to enjoy the experience of staying in a old time motel the way people used to back in the day. 
we went on a train ride through the old town, and walked the beautiful old town.





Next stop... LAKE TAHOE!!!!

on the drive over we got on the subject of sneezing... it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
Trogdor (Bret) wanted to prove this fact wrong and tried to sneeze with his eyes open.. haha this video was taken RIGHT AFTER he sneezed, and it is all of us laughing due to the fact that we were all so entertained over this matter. ha ha ha


 

LAKE TAHOE-
i love lake tahoe, i hadn't been back since i was a little girl.  i forgot how clear and STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS this lake was.  completely clear and huge!
We all then went out SAILING... yes i know what you are thinking... (wow i wish i could sail.)
it was absolutely incredilbe!  i could sail my whole life, it was pure bliss... the slight breeze blowing and the sun shining in your face as you sit and look out at the clearest bluest water ever.  i honestly thought i had died and gone to paradise. 

IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!

this trip has been the cherry on top of a wonderful summer and we are only 3 days into it.
i'll write more about it when we get back to the grand ole... OREM utah! wooo hooo!

Later Gaters... i'm going to go have me some more fun!
