I'm Sorry!

It seems there is no good time to post these days.  I feel as if I am always playing catch up.  I then get over whelmed by all I have to post and it makes me delay even longer.  I am going to accept the fact I can only do so much.  I will post as much as I can.  I will try to finish our vacation in CA then move on.  Thanks to all who follow and I will try and do better.....

Never, ever, Ever, EVER again!

If I only had his nerves of steel.


No Room In The Inn

Comfort Inn.....
 
Sandy and I were feeling like Mary and Joseph the first night in Mammoth Lakes.  We were wondering WHERE is this economic recession every one is talking about.  There was a HUGE blues festival going on.  There were NO hotel rooms.  We FINALLY found a room, (Thank you American Express) at a Comfort Inn which was a DIVE with no air conditioning for an INSANE amount of money.  The next two nights were were able to stay at the Westin Manache Resort in a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen and balcony for LESS than our nightly rate at the Comfort Inn.  But, I'm not bitter.......

Next Stop....Mammoth Lakes

We drove from Tahoe to Mammoth Lakes.  It was a beautiful drive.  We stopped as the DIVE in the middle of nowhere for lunch.  We had very good burgers at Walkers considering it was in no where land.

 We had the opportunity to visit Mammoth Lakes a few years ago.  We loved the town.  We found this awesome restaurant that we revisited this time.  Surprisingly, "Burgers" is famous for RIBS.  Not burgers.  Odd.


This was one of my favorite days of vacation.

We rented a boat for the day and spent the day chillin' (literally) on Lake Tahoe.  This was such a fun day for us.  The boys tubed, skied, sunned, swam, and had a great time. The water was SO cold.  It was 58 degrees. BBRRRRRR!!!!  Didn't stop the boys.

 The water was SO cold.  This is Daniel getting out of the water warming up hugging Le.


 Turtle Kitty is Cold!
 I love this law!  In Lake Tahoe if you have a man down in the water the spotter has to wave the orange flag.  I wish they did that on Lake Keowee.  I wish I had a dime for the times I've started frantically flapping my arms to alert a boater to one of my kids in the water.  In fact. I may get an orange flag for our boat, law or not.

 After a long day in cold water we had cocktail hour in the hot tub.

I love this picture.
