My Dad and Stepmom Lorraine spend most of their summer in a "cabin" home up in Tahoe. The home originally belonged to my grandparents, who used to go up and spend the summers there. Growing up we took summer vacations at the "cabin" and I have many great childhood memories from our time there.

This weekend we decided to join my Dad and Lorrane for an extended weekend up at the "cabin" in Tahoe. It would be Kyle's first trip there - as well as a chance for him to visit with his grandparent's again.

The drive from our house to the "cabin" is usually 5 hours (if you don't go when there is traffic, which would be, like, 3am), but with Kyle we knew we would be making several stops and planned for a 7+ hour drive.

We took our time on the drive up and arrived late in the afternoon. After unpacking the car and saying our hellos Ian introduced Kyle to the Pine trees that surround the "cabin". Kyle loves to feel the bark and leaves on the trees around our house and now he had some new trees to inspect.

We spent the next couple days hanging out at the "cabin", walking around and eating in Tahoe City, walking the trail to Ehrman Mansion, and basically just relaxing and enjoying ourselves.

We decided to head home a day early to miss Sunday traffic - and because neither Kyle or I was sleeping well. I think it was a combination of the elevation and allergies for me and the elevation and teething for Kyle.

We've made plans to head back up in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll sleep better that time.
