Lake Tahoe

Last Thursday, our neighbors Jon and Ana asked us if we wanted to make a weekend trip up to Lake Tahoe. We said yes, and we're glad we did.

It was Jon, Jill and I's first time to ski, but it was Jill's first time trying winter sports of any kind – Jon and I have both snowboarded before. Considering this, we all did well for just two days on the slopes. The secret to our success was Ana, who was a patient coach the entire time. She was there to untangle our skis every time we tumbled.

It was awe-inspiring to go down the mountain with the lake in the horizon. And despite a minor injury – Jill hurt her knee at the end of the first day getting off a ski lift – we had a great time with our friends.
