Traveling to Tahoe

Friday evening, we caught a plane for Reno. We didn't get to see the sunset from the plane, but we were on the Mt. Rainier side, so it's all okay.
7-Twilight Mt Rainier

11 o'clock at night (or so), we land in Reno. It was very smoky from forest fires in California. Smile!
9-Christina Chunlin Reno Airport

The next day, we drove to Tahoe. Here's the view from the north end of the lake. If not for the smoke, you'd be able to see to the south end. But, as I said, smoke.
13-Incline Village Lk Tahoe South

And then we went to the beach. Christina was very happy to discover that we were in California and not Utah.
16-Kings Beach

After a couple hours at the beach, we continued around the lake, stopping at Tahoe City for a walk in the lake's outlet. I'd been here before, two years ago.
27-Truckee River Chunlin

They had flowers there.
36-More Lupines Tahoe City

Further down the shore, Emerald Bay. The sun was setting.
39-Emerald Bay Lookout

We finally checked in at the Motel 6 in South Lake Tahoe Saturday evening.
50-Chunlin South Lake Tahoe Pool

A swim in a pool, a trip to Grocery Outlet, and it was time for bed. . .

Forty-three more photos (so far) on flickr for your viewing pleasure.
