Let is snow...

So,more travel tales..
Right,so last weekend,we were all given an extra couple of days off from work to be Thankful,and boy we were! Even thought it was right after I had come back from Germany and was still fighting jet lag,we went on a family trip to lovely Lake Tahoe. After driving for many hours,we finally got to our cabin in the mountains,which was a big letdown :( Looked nothing like the lovely pics on the website,the heating system was broken down,and the fireplace didn't work either.. Finally,we woke up the property owners from their Thanksgiving Dinner induced slumber,and ended up in a bee-you-tee-full cabin with a lovely view of the lake,a jacuzzi tub(for the others!),etc.
We woke up the next morning to see the first snow of the season,what a pretty sight it was!
The next day,we drove to a nearby ski resort,and while everyone skied(or fell on their butts!),I sat in the restaurant area by a warm fireplace with a book.It was a gorgeous day,the sun shining bright, the slopes covered with powdery white snow,and I ended up watching people come down the slopes,more than read! I was telling my younger brother this,and he thought I was officially old now! huh?
We left the next day,and after hours of driving crawling in the snow,came back home in time for dinner. Was a lovely break,wish we could have stayed longer!
