Debbie and Justin: Lake Tahoe

Justin and I took our first family vacation with my sweet Jaybird!
Tuesday post is ----> here

On Wednesday while we were in Lake Tahoe we decided to take her sledding along the Mt. Rose Highway. It was her first time going sledding and she asked very innocently... "How do we get up the hill?" I informed her that she would have to walk all the way up every time she wanted to slide down..
"ooooooohhhh that's going to be a lot of work" Yes child and you will sleep well tonight :)

Grandma and Grandpa came with us to sled.

Sorry most of the pictures were of her face and I can't show those quite yet :(

Yup my child loves to eat snow!

Even Grandpa went sledding with us!

Yeah, I fell a lot! I'm pretty good at that.

Justin and I went down together a few times. We had one good run and that was it. The rest of the time we fell over half way through.

From our last run before we got too tired to climb up that hill again.

Once we got hungry we left and headed back to the house to clean up and go to Jason's (Justin's family favorite restaurant in Tahoe.) She's been to nice restaurants before but we have really been working on her table manners at home so we could work her up for this. Jaybird did fantastic!! I was able to show her other kids at the next table not using proper manners and compare them to her. It gave her an amazing confidence boost! Sorry the restaurant was dark and we were tired and forgot to get pictures! But here's a picture of Jasons!

After lunch we took a few photos (Like always :) ) and Grandma and Grandpa graciously took Jaybird to the movies so Justin and I could have a date night. The three of them went to see the Spongebob Movie in 3D (I am forever in their debt because I had no desire to see that movie) and Justin and I finished recreating the pictures, played a few slots, and ate dinner at an amazing tapas bar.

2015... Ok this one was hard because it was an action shot but I think I did pretty good :)

We grabbed some other pictures from the locations we were at too! We have to make new memories to recreate when we got back again in the winter/spring time.

These are from the overlook

The second set if from one of the public spots on the beach.

Thank you Justin for the amazing picture of me trying to figure out how to make it to the rock!

After we had our fun at some "amazing" casinos... No they were really trashy! I thought Virgin River, in Mesquite, was trashy.. these were bad! We found our way to a Tapas Bar (Thank you Yelp!) that was only a couple miles from the house. It was amazing and we had our own first this trip; we spent $100 on one meal and didn't have to worry about using that money for something else. I know.. it's kinda silly but it's taken us a while to get to this place in our marriage and it feels great!
