Photo TR: Lake Tahoe

[PhishyBrewer]

While Robb, Elissa and Derek spent sometime in Southern Nevada, Karen, Gavin and I spent sometime in Northern Nevada.

 

I have over 100+ photos, but probably won’t post that many.

 

Enjoy!

Back at dock, we thought we better take a walk and work off our dinner.

This is how I would like to spend everyday.

These folks have the right idea. How relaxing.

After we ate, we just sat back and enjoyed the ride... and more drinks of course.

I know it's not turkey and all the fixings... but this is the best fried chicken IN THE WORLD!!!

Screw the wine and the foo-foo drinks... give me a beer.

Best part of the boat.

Karen and Gavin get cozy while dinner is being prepared.

This is where we had Thanksgiving dinner.

If I knew that most of the casino was closed, I probably wouldn't of stayed here. But of course... the stay was free.

3/4's of the casino was closed for remodel. Caesars Tahoe was sold last year, and the new owners are making huge changes. Everything should be done by March 2006.

It's a mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror... you get it.

And yes... another view from our room.

The bathroom.

Our room.

Another view from our room.

Thanksgiving morning... the beautiful view from our room.

Gavin doesn't think Batman should have a bed time.

Got into Tahoe around 8:30 at night. We stayed at Casesar for three days. You have to love comps!!!

On the way to Tahoe from Sacramento, we stopped at McD's for a bite to eat. Gavin was just told that there might be snow when we get there.

[PhishyBrewer]

Yes... more

Since Gavin isn't old enough to gamble, we just walked through Tahoe.

Duh?

After seeing this rainbow, I only wanted to do one thing...

Yet.. not a damn ski trail was open.

The gondolas were running to the top of the mountain.

Heavenly's Incline Village

The best way to work off that Thanksgiving meal.

California/Nevada Stateline... Where's Elissa's boobs when you need them.

[Nrthwnd]

Wow. :shock: That looks soooooo like up around here and our Gulf Islands area.

 

If you didn't tell me where you had gone, and lied about the location.... woulda fooled me, Phishy.

 

Great TR so far. There ARE non-theme park places one can go for a Holiday holiday, heh heh.

 

Looking forward to the rest of your time there. And --- does Gavin find snow??? (the suspence, the unknowing.....)

 

[PhishyBrewer]

Black Friday... in Virginia City.

Since I don't like crowds, we avoided the mall all together and headed to Virginia City, Nevada.

Yeah, yeah... I know he's three. But he knows how to handle a gun.

Later, we took are chances at a shooting gallery.

Yummy... you can still see the blood stains.

So the story is that the three owners of the saloon killed themselves after losing all they ever had at the poker table.

Next stop... The Suicide Table!

Nice view.

Inside

The Bucket of Blood, my favorite bar in Virginia City.

Aww... I want to go to Cedar Point.

[PhishyBrewer]

Dinner at the Sage Room.

It finally started to snow Friday evening.

Another day down.

After a few drinks, I said screw it! I'm using my flas. This is probably the best meal of my life. Filet Mignon and Lobster tail.

Very good escargot… but I believe Bay Harbor at Cedar Point has the best.

I didn't want to be a prick and use the flash. Sorry for the crappy photo.

We had dinner reservation at the Sage Room at Harvey's. No amount of snow was going to make me miss this meal.

[PhishyBrewer]

And on the last day... we went home.

Woke up to this crap!

Ahh... I guess everyone else has the same idea.

 

Hope you enjoyed this Photo TR. Thanks!

"Take the damn picture and let's get the hell out of here!"

What a beautiful place.

It was freak'n cold!!!

We headed out and started on our way home. Stopped by a park for a photo op first.

Yeah... I could spend a couple days here.

Bras on the bar... my kind of place.

Karen had some very EPIC Fish Tacos.

I had some AWESOME Chicken Tacos!

Then... Waborita #2

Some tasty Chicken Tortila Soup.

Waborita #1

I feel like a Waborita!!!

Well... atleast it's cold enough to start making snow.

My poor car!

[QuakerOaties]

Seeing those pictures reminds me of how awesome the mountains are. I hope it snows in Philly soon.

 

It looks like you guys had a fun time. I think when I'm older I might have to jump on the bandwagon of untraditional thanksgiving trips.

Great TR Wally! You and Soren are tied at the top of the list when it comes to posting the most awesome photo TR's.

[RtherBOnACoaster]

Looks like you had fun Wally! I was in Lake Tahoe over the summer for a few hours and it was beautiful; it looks like its even better in the winter. Makes me want to go back.

[disneygurlz2s]

Awesome!! Gavin, you are a total cutie... I bet you keep your mom and dad cracking up all day long!!

Great TR! Gavin is so cute! I want to go back to Tahoe during the winter, since it looks better than summer.

[PhishyBrewer]

Tahoe in the Winter or Summer... it's always beautiful. 8)

[tinkerbell]

^ Yeah that's true. But there's snow there in winter for snow-deprived Californians.

[PhishyBrewer]

I lived in Ohio for most of my life. I can live without it

[arrowfanman]

Excellent pics! I soo wish I was back up there!

 

Although, I could do without the snow! (Once a SoCal'ian, always a SoCal'ian!).

[Erik Johnson]

I think this one may be your best random photo TR yet. Thanks for supporting the Cabo Wabo, that's one of the tequilas we distribute.

[CoasterCrazy]

Awesome Pictures!!!!!!!!

 

Lake Tahoe looks awesome since I love the snow!

[PhishyBrewer]

Thanks for supporting the Cabo Wabo, that's one of the tequilas we distribute.

 

Although I do enjoy a good Waborita, I think that Cabo Wabo is crap and way over priced.

 

Heres the good shit

Patrón Añejo (80 proof):

Available in 1.75L, 750ml, 375ml & 50ml

 

Patrón Añejo is a delicate blend of uniquely aged tequilas. All the tequilas are aged in small white oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. As in many premium red wines, the blends must be adjusted for each vintage. The same care and attention is paid when blending Patrón Añejo making it smooth, distinctive and extraordinary.

Great TR Wally! You and Soren are tied at the top of the list when it comes to posting the most awesome photo TR's.
