Nov. 2002 - Thanksgiving Week:
We enjoyed a great week with family ~ so peaceful & beautiful. The kids fed the geese and ducks. We gathered small pine cones to make 'turkey' place cards for the table. Our youngest daughter took her first steps here! Thank you for sharing your home with us - we hope to come back soon!

Christmas 2003:
Our family gathered for our first 'destination' Christmas. The Tahoe Ross Retreat was a perfect spot for us! The Christmas Eve snow storm left the landscape a winter wonderland, but made the trip from San Francisco an eight hour nightmare!
We took advantage of the skiing at Heavenly Valley, snowmobiling at Meyer, tubing + sledding. Those who didn't ski loved the Gondola ride where we saw magnificent vistas of Lake Tahoe. Some of us even enjoyed a night at the Casinos.
We enjoyed our nightly fires, puzzle making, card games, yatzee, lively games of war, feeding the birds that visited the deck + dips in the hot tub. All of this was enjoyed by our group that ranges in age from 11 to 92!
The new oven + range top were great! It made cooking for a crowd easy.
We'd love to come again.
