Oh so Heavenly!

A couple weeks ago we dusted off our snowboard gear and ventured up to South Lake Tahoe with Liz's family for some fun at the Heavenly Mountain Resort. We stayed at the Marriott right at the base of Heavenly, surrounded by great shops and restaurants. The best part though, was that the gondola (which takes you up to the slopes) was right outside our hotel--steps away! Not a bad deal, if you ask us.

 The Sunday after we arrived in Tahoe was Rich's birthday, so we celebrated with some pizookie and presents.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday we went snowboarding, and the rest of the days were spent relaxing by the lake, shopping and eating--cinnamon rolls and candy apples, yes please!

We didn't want to risk taking our new camera on the mountain with us, so we took a few pictures with our phones.

Fun fact: we bumped into Todd and Abby, Rich's friends from college, while staying at the hotel.  It was such a treat seeing them!

Before we knew it, our time in Tahoe was over and we were headed back to the wonderful world of LA. Thankfully, we all made it home safe and sound, and relatively unharmed (Liz had a run-in with a hotel door--the door won, her ankle lost). For now, we're back to the grind and enjoying this beautiful southern California weather. Is it summer yet?!

'Til the next marvelous adventure...
