May 30th...Tahoe and a day of rest (sort of)

 

Where is that special place that you feel refreshed?  Tahoe is that special place for me!  No matter the time of year or the accommodations, the moment I step foot from the car upon arrival I experience an immediate feeling of peace and a coming home of sorts.  I absolutely love Tahoe and the same old feelings came over me as we pulled into the parking lot of Sweetbriar last night or should I say early this morning.  Ha ha!  Even this morning, as we woke to sounds of paving trucks, the sense of peace and rest came over me.  We have been through some of the most wonderful and intense days of our life during this dream trip of a lifetime.  Today would be a day to recall some of those as Pam and I worked on our blogs and sorted through memorabilia for the history books that the kids are working on.  We all slept in......it was a glorious feeling to not be rushing to leave and just be able to "stay home".  The weather was pleasant and we donned shorts and bathing suits.  Of course, the water was chilly but the warm sunshine felt heavenly!!  We lugged our chairs and laptops to the beach and lounged while writing furiously to try to catch our blogs.  We got a little crispy on our legs and shoulders....oops!!  It was a nice day and we are beginning to feel a little rested...so thankful
for a day to recoup before we enter the real world again........life begins again tomorrow.
