Rose Gold Reveries: Over the Mountain and Through the Woods

We took a quick drive up to Truckee because Leshanta found an amp he loved on Craigslist, it turned out to be a lovely day trip.
It was really crazy seeing snow-capped mountains and driving through hail so close to home when it was ninety degrees just the day before. After we picked up the new treasure (even I like it, it's purple), we drove into Tahoe and played on Kings Beach. Minnie is so much fun now that she can enjoy everything like a big girl. She gets excited to go on trips, packs her backpack, grabs her favorite hat, and takes in everything. She had a good time on the beach running after the birds and throwing rocks into the water. We stopped into a thrift store and scored a bentwood bistro chair that will match our other dining chairs perfectly once I sand and paint it, I've been looking for one forever. Then we drove back into Truckee to check out their historic downtown and grab a late lunch. Historic downtown Truckee is totally cute and quaint with a bunch of tiny shops, a variety of restaurants, and a cool historic hotel. We're looking forward to going back when it's warmer and maybe go swimming in Tahoe or Donner Lake next time.

"...the fairest picture the whole earth affords." Lake Tahoe is breathtaking, Mark Twain is right.
