The Beautiful Lake Tahoe!

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:9, NIV)


Today's blog post is a continuation of our April roadtrip!

From Carson City to Tahoe, we experienced...more...snow...in April, I was shocked!




A lot of snow...in April. Did I mention I was shocked...as well as grossly underdressed!


My girls screamed, "What do you do when you are find yourself in a snowstorm?! Have a snowball fight, what else?!" So...we did!


Well...they did, while I hid out in the van...with the heat on high...dressed in layers.



In Tahoe, we stayed at the magnificent Marriott's Timber Lodge, located in the "Heavenly Ski Resort" area. Walking into the reception area we were immediately greeted by a roaring fireplace. Off to the right of the reception area was the next best thing to said roaring fireplace...the Cub House...for kids! Complete with crafts, toys, birds, fish, and a climbing wall! 



Our suite included a washer/dryer and yes, another roaring fireplace as well as an oversized jacuzzi tub. Our Marriott stay was very enjoyable. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The Heavenly Ski Resort area is full of fun shops, tasty coffee houses and restaurants. When we left Hawaii for this trip, we knew three things. When we were leaving, where we were spending the first night, and when we were flying home. We quickly discovered we had not allotted enough time for Tahoe and our next destination. We also discovered will definitely be spending more time in Tahoe!


If you find yourself in Tahoe, do not miss out on the Emerald Bay. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Why use words when pictures tell it all!






Lord God, it is no wonder to me why the Psalmist sang, "LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth"! When I sit and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of your creation, I too sing, "LORD, our Lord, how Majestic is Your name in all the earth"!


Tomorrow: Yosemite...and I don't mean Sam!
