On Friday, we drove to South Tahoe to meet up with Sylvia and James.  They have a timeshare at a resort just next to Heavenly and they invited us to stay in their 2-bedroom suite for the weekend.

The drive up was in heavy traffic but we made it with just enough time to enjoy the sunset and some drinks and dinner in the village.

The next morning, we made a big breakfast and then packed up for a day at the beach.  We ended up at Zephyr Cove Beach where it’s a popular hangout for college kids. We got a spot in the back and set-up a big shady tarp for a view of the lake and all the partying happening around us.

I was amazed at how Kumquat kept herself occupied for so long by playing with the sand and the bucket/shovel that we brought from home.  I actually got to crack open a magazine and relax a bit.  Jesse and James also BBQ’d around the corner and we enjoyed chicken wings, corn, and sausage under our little campsite along with a box of wine.

Later in the evening, we went out for dinner at the casinos and walked around a bit in the warm evening weather.

Our drive home on Sunday was smooth with the exception for a 5-mile stretch of traffic in Davis where it was 104 degrees outside.  All-in-all it was a good but short trip.
