We woke up and hit the road at 9:30. We need to cover 380 miles today.
We leave Elko, the nation's largest producer of mined gold, as we found out (who knew), and start crossing Nevada. There is nothing here. Or there. Or even over there.
How bad is it? I'll tell you how bad it is...Teresa is not taking any pictures. NONE! This is the first time the kids have been asking how much longer before we get there. Samantha gives up and goes to sleep.
We drove through Carson City and make our way to Lake Tahoe. Its a beautiful drive into Tahoe. We get to the RV park and sign in. Surprise! They don't have our reservation. You know, the one we made in October. And prepaid for in October.
After a bit they find a spot and its nice. We grab a quick dinner and head to the RV. A special treat! We have a cable TV hookup! The kids, especially Samantha stay up late watching TV. Since her five hour nap she seems restless. Odd.
Today we woke up a little late and the we all go out and toss the football. Two little girls show up and the kids play hide and seek for a while. We decide to hit the beach. The skies are blue and the temps are climbing. We spend all day there. Its a good time to let the kids do what they want to do. They have been cooped up for too long. The kids we met earlier see us at the beach and they play all day long.
It is a relaxing day that we hope to repeat tomorrow. Its nice to fit these breaks into the vacation. It is hard not to get caught up in trying to see everything and just take some time to enjoy our time off.
