Our weekend in Tahoe

Gregg and I just got home from a fabulous 4 days in Lake Tahoe. Our good friend Sarah was getting married in Reno and she planned a wonderful fun filled weekend for us all. We stayed in Tahoe just at the border of California & Nevada. 

Our hotel was NASTY. We found this little place for $24 a night - I know, I know...what can we expect for $24??...Well let me just say we got what we paid for...
I expected things to be pretty sketchy so I brought our own sheets
Yes the bathroom is pink...Pepto Pink!
"The Bride Ride" - on Friday morning Sarah set up a mountain bike ride at the Flume Trail. It was 14 miles - 5 of which were up hill and pure hell. I thought my lungs were going to explode...the hardest thing I've ever done.
Once we made it up hill things got much better - the view was awesome.
Half way though the ride we came across a rope swing - all the guys went for a ride.
Me & the bride Sarah
After I was able to catch my breath I started having so much fun!

Gregg showing off his sweet moves
On Saturday morning we drove to the Reno temple for the wedding. It was so wonderful!
The beautiful couple - Sarah & Jared Swanson

After the wedding Gregg & I spent the afternoon in Reno
We ate lunch at this yummy pizza place...Gregg was enjoying the fresh grated Parmesan cheese
After lunch I took a nap in the car and Gregg went fishing
Saturday night was the reception. It was held at the National Automobile Museum in down town Reno. For so many reasons this was by far one of the most enjoyable receptions we've been to.

what a fun weekend, I think I'm a little jealous - the only exciting thing we did was watch a movie on the hammock outside after the kids went to bed... the pictures are beautiful and I'm so proud of your for riding that bike so long. way to go!

Looks like you had an awesome weekend! What a fun idea for a reception!! Talk to you later!

You look super cute as always Meliss! I can't believe you did a 14 mile bikeride. I think I would've had a bad attitude the whole time. You always have a good time even when the times aren't so good! I really admire that in you! So our friends ARE coming this weekend so Dave and I won't be able to make it to Laguna. Let me know the next weekend you're free and we'll totally come up. We miss you guys!
