Travel: Lake Tahoe

It was a no-brainer when C flew in from Zurich and asked if I wanted to go to Lake Tahoe with him. I'd been itching to see snow ever since Montreal (Part 2). Plus, I'd never been to Tahoe!
Itinerary:
  • Day 1: I flew LAX to SJC where C picked me up and we drove to South Lake Tahoe. We had dinner in Davis, CA (it was just on the way, and we were waiting for traffic to die down).
  • Day 2: I shopped and took photos while he skied. We après-ski'ed and had dinner in Heavenly.
  • Day 3: Drove around the entire lake stopping at Inspiration Point, Truckee (for cappuccinos), Donner Lake, Squaw Valley (we happy hour'd there) and Kings Beach (where we we watched the sunset).
  • Day 4: Drove to SFO where we checked out an exhibition at the airport. After dinner, he flew back to Switzerland and I returned to LAX via Virgin America.
