"When Nature Calls . . . "

| Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay |
Greetings,
Vacations. You know - doing weeks of online research - finding the passports - having the mail held at the post office - shopping for fun paperback books to read - retrieving the luggage from the garage - getting tickets for a show - finding the perfect hotel - making dinner reservations . . .
Or. Conversely. You can do what we did. Deciding late on Thursday afternoon that we were going to head up to Lake Tahoe on Friday afternoon and stay for the holiday weekend.
Found a cute little cabin where we could stay.
Tossed some shorts and a few polo shirts into a vintage Louis Vuitton bag.
Printed out directions from the computer.
And hit the road on less than 24 hours notice.
Oh, and remembered to grab the camera.
With fully charged batteries.
Yay.

This is amazing, huh?
I love having trips like that, where you decide almost the day before. I love surprising life and letting life surprise me.
It should be spontaneous!

ps...I'm always posting to my blog even when we're on vacation and trying ever so hard to stay away from the computer - it's an addiction of the good kind!

I love spontaneous trips!
we used to stay on Emerald Bay years ago......I think it was the Spreckles house...some sugar people...(I think!)...totally gorgeous.....unspoiled.....tents on the lawn for the children.....totally fabulous! An old wooden house......the opposite of "McMansions"!!!
It seems "Emerald Bay" is still an unspoiled part of Tahoe!!! How uplifting!!!
Thanks for the beautiful post!
I can stay for a few weeks in a place like this :-)
Thanks to sharing this whit us!
Have a nice weekend
