In October Andy and I went to Tahoe for a week to Celebrate his 30
th birthday. We had such a fun time relaxing, watching movies,
playing bingo, riding our bikes, sleeping in, visiting with some of our friends, and just not having to worry about anything. It was fun to be there in the off season, we loved how quiet the town was and the weather was great!
This is me with
Anthony Drexel Goldfarb, a Dr. Seuss taxidermy. He sells for about $2,000. We were in the art gallery with a sales lady for a good 30 minutes considering buying one of these...she about had Andy convinced that it would be a good investment. Anthony was my favorite, I thought he was pretty cute.
Our friends Nate and Diana
Boice came down for a night. It was fun to see them and spend some time with them. This is Nate with
"The Goo-Goo-Eyed Tasmanian Wolghast".
I absolutely love nature, I love to see the leaves in the fall!
Blue skies at the lake for one minute...
until the clouds came rolling in and the wind picked up way too much. This was Andy and Nate attempting to fly kites.
Spencer Garlic also came and stayed with us for a night. We decided to go on a bike ride after spending all day in the bike shop with Andy trying to make decisions about his new bike. When we got to the trail we weren't prepared to pay to park. After digging up every penny we could find in my car we were still short. We loaded up the envelope with all the change we had and then thanks to Andy or Spence they found some coins that had fallen out of other peoples envelopes that were
buried in the dirt at the bottom of this pole. When we cleaned that out we dug through pine needles and tan bark until we even had a nickel to spare! We happily sealed our envelope and now Andy could relax with the idea that we wouldn't get a parking ticket. We had a fun time digging for those coins!

This picture doesn't do it justice but the trail was absolutely gorgeous!
My honey.
Andy and I by the Lake after our bike ride. Thanks for taking our picture Spence!
I really don't like this picture, but I had to post it so I could remember what I spent hours and hours doing while in Tahoe. Spence bought me some
modge podge so I was able to glue it together. Andy planned on saving it so we could hang it in our cabin in Alaska someday...but I have to say I didn't want to have another thing to store, so it's already been disposed of.
This was the beach where our hotel was. The hotel was kind of old but you could tell it was fancy for its day. It was a great centrally located place to stay, that we would definitely go back to.
My Dad has a sign company and does all the signs for Stanford athletics, we love it because we get the benefit of having field passes to go to the games.
