Lake Tahoe / Taylor Creek

Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places. I love it there. I only wish we were there when it was warmer so that we could play in it. We will have to go back again sometime soon.Whitney took this picture of Aaron and me. Pretty good for an 8 year old.
At Lake Tahoe we went to the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. There are two weeks out of every year that is Salmon spawning season. We just happen to be there during those two weeks. Hundreds of these Salmon turn bright red, then swim up this creek from the Lake. They lay their eggs and then die. There will probably never be an opportunity when we can see something like this again. It was way cool. There are two hikes that you can take from the Visitor's Center, one goes along the creek and then ends up in this observatory where you can see under the river. The Salmon don't come up stream this far, but there were a lot of other fish to see there. The other hike takes you out to the Lake.

Whitney took the picture of me that you got from my Facebook page. She is pretty good!

I really think we should do a family trip in Tahoe next year. It is the perfect vacation spot.

What a fabulous and busy trip! You went all over the place. Your family is just about one of the most darling families ever! And you look stunning, by the way!
