Weekend Round-Up: Tahoe!
Rob and I escaped the city on Friday for a camping trip in Tahoe planned by our friend Nicole. Escaping was a bit harder than expected and it took us six and a half hours to make it to the lovely campground at Camp Richardson from San Francisco. Giant thunder and lightning marked our arrival but thankfully stopped quickly thereafter.
On Saturday, we woke up early to the sound of ravens and had a breakfast around the campfire. It was already warming up when we started our hike to Angora Lakes. Each of these tiny lakes is surrounded by even tinier cabins and it feels like something straight out of a corny summer movie. After the 2 mile hike up, we swam in the lake and picnicked on the shore. Rob rented a boat and rowed five of us girls over to the other side to dive off one of the rocks. After drying off a bit, we hiked back out to the campgrounds in the blazing sun.
I bought a huge chocolate ice cream sundae from the parlor across the street and we walked over to a Native American craft fair before spending the rest of the afternoon napping in the shade at Pope Beach. Ally and Ryan cooked a delicious chicken, corn, garlic bread and potato salad dinner on the campfire. Rob, Nicole and I lounged around the fire playing increasingly challenging rounds of twenty questions for the rest of the night.
We woke up around 7:30 and cooked the most delicious sausage and egg muffins on the fire Sunday morning. There is nothing better than a smoky, buttery english muffin and a mug of hot cocoa in the morning. Rob and I packed up the tent and left at 10:30 to drive back to the city. It only took us four hours this time!
After much needed showers and manicures, we went to the store and bought one of those insanely large containers of blueberries. I cooked up a storm until Jean and Trent came over at 6:30 to go to the movies. We saw “A Scanner Darkly” out in West Portal. More importantly, we ate four candy bars, six blueberry pastries, a medium bag of buttered popcorn, a medium soda and four beers…pretty much before the movie even started! They came over to the house to watch a bit of the Tour and to work on the mirror restoration before heading home. I fell asleep at 10:30 and had wonderful dreams all night about living in an art deco palace in San Francisco.
