Honeymooners

Gera and I went to Lake Tahoe for our Honeymoon.  We stayed there for a week and it was so FUN!!!  This was Gera's first time there and I've always loved being in nature.

 One of the days we went hiking above Emerald Bay.  Here is a shot of us up by the parking lots.  It was such  a beautiful day.

 I love the gnarly roots of this tree that had fallen over near the waterfall.  

 Gera and I took a walk from the state line down to the beaches.  The water was too cold to get in, but the sunshine helped keep up warm.  We were sitting on a log because the sand was wet.  We were glad it was wet because right after taking this picture a helicopter landed in the parking lot near where we were sitting.  If the sand would have been dry we would have gotten all dirty.  I guess somebody was injured in the water and was taken to the dock next to where we were sitting.  The helicopter was from the hospital and dropped down and then left.

 I think this was Gera's favorite day of the week because we rented bikes and rode along the bike trails between the beaches on the south side of the lake.  Gera LOVES to ride a bike.  It's not my favorite thing but it was fun being with him.

 If riding bikes was Gera's favorite day, then these are pictures of Gera's scariest day!  I took him on a ride up the Gondola.  Gera is from a small village and has not had many opportunities to go on rides or anything....so he is a little afraid of heights.  We were going down when I took the below picture...that is him trying to smile as he's looking below and thinking that we were going to 'drop out of the air'.  He of course survived and I told him it was his training for Six Flaggs and Disneyland.  He needed to recover afterwards so we went to the movie theater and watched the new Karate Kid.

Here is a view from where we were staying.  We were so greatful that my sister-in-law's grandparents allowed us to stay in their time share.  It was so nice and quiet.  We were so sad when the week was over and can't wait until we have another opportunity to go back to Lake Tahoe.
