Tahoe

Chris has been harassing me for months about whether or not I can ski. In our two years together, we had yet to ski with one another.

This weekend we finally had the opportunity to do so.

My dear friends Jenny and Brett invited us to join them for a weekend at their cabin in South Lake Tahoe. It had been over two years since I saw my former law school classmate and his wife, so it made the Tahoe adventure all the more special. I used to see Brett and Jenny relatively frequently, however, since moving to the Bay area, visits have been far and few between.

It was so much fun to get out of town for the weekend, particularly knowing we were due for some good skiing, as the snow was rumored to be good and the weather, at least on Saturday, was supposed to be sunny.

We arrived in time for dinner on Friday night and enjoyed a night out on the town in South Lake Tahoe. Jenny and I won a free ski lift ticket while at dinner. I just knew we were going to win, as the raffle ticket number was the year I was born.

Later in the evening, we found ourselves in a State Line casino, and Chris asked me what number he should pick on the roulette table. I replied "7" or "4", as those numbers had won us the lift ticket. As Chris went to put a chip down on 7, the table closed. Of course, 7 was the lucky number of that "round" of roulette. We were so close! Regardless, even though we didn't win, Chris said "it's bound to be a good weekend," which it was.

We had such a wonderful weekend - full of laughter, friends and great skiing. A huge thank you to Jenny and Brett for sharing your home with us!
