California Vacation - Final Stop: the TAHOE RIDGE resort

we LOVE going to Tahoe..

we hiked, played, swam, gambled (a little) and played some more

(funny story = Brett and I have always had a hard time gambling - but this was funny. We would take turns and only lose $2.50 at a time on the nickel & quarter machines. When we'd win big (about $3) we'd cash out and move on to another machine. Once we lost $20 - which took us a little more than an hour - we looked at each other and agreed we'd rather spend our $$ on a COLD STONE ice cream treat and souvenir stickers for the kids. So - we left, got our treats and came back feeling better about how we spent the other $20 we'd allowed ourselves at the casino! I guess the moral of our story is.. You won't be catching Brett or I winning BIG anytime SOON!)

time for some FAMILY fun!
