Weekend in Tahoe

Siobhan and I had a much deserved getaway weekend in Tahoe. It was the perfect weekend to do so, it had snowed 3-5 feet the week before, but the weekend was comeplely sunny.
Here is a quick summary of our activities. The pics below are from the vendors websites. I am still waiting for my film to come back from the lab, and will update the pics when they come in. (Yes, I still shoot film…)

We stayed in 1920s era logging cabins converted to hotels at the “Rustic Cabins”
I would highly recommend this to any chain, ski lodge, or casino hotel. Rooms start at $59 are nice and private and a step back in time.

That night we ate at near by Italian place “Lanza’s”, and wholly cow! Probably the best Italian I have ever had. I had the Chicken Cacciatore, a whole half chicken! Dang that was good!

After that we took a paddlewheel cruise of the lake onboard the “Tahoe Queen”
