It seems like it was only yesterday that we were all packed and ready to leave for the airport...and very soon we are back to our comfortable home...how I wish we could extend our holidays for another week!
After all the unpacking and cleaning up after a trip, I finally get to seat down to sort out the tonnes of photos we have taken during our two weeks trips to the San Francisco bay area in California. As promised in my last posting, I would love to share our travel photos and stories with you. However, I guess I have to do it in batches, as there are just too many photos to go thru! So for this first installment, I will share with you our trip to the beautiful Lake Tahoe.
We spent the entire morning, driving from the bay area to South Lake Tahoe city. It was worth the 4 hrs drive as it got more scenic as we approach our destination.
I enjoyed watching the never ending pine trees that lined along both sides of the road...while the boys were busy punching away the buttons on their electronic gaming devices at the back of the car!
We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the distant mountains were still covered with snow!
Once we checked-in to the motel, we wasted no time to get on to the nearest hiking trail at the Emerald Bay.
The trail though considered easy, was fairly steep, it's about 4km round-trip. At the bottom of the trail, near the beach, we saw the famous Vikingsholm Castle.
Well, the boys were not so interested in the building, but were more pre-occupied with the geese.
We then went on a short trail to the lower section of the Eagles Falls.
It was indeed a good hiking trail to start with...the boys enjoyed the walk and it was a great way to get them off their gameboy and psp! Walking back to the parking area was a little tedious for me and my younger boy, but he managed to get his daddy to piggy-back him for the last quarter-mile up to the trail head ;)
