Tahoe trip has become our Christmas tradition, where four families get together spend days in the mountains and evenings eating hot pot.
The house we stayed this time has a slot machine that appears to be tweaked such that it is impossible to use up all the credit in it. We got each one down to about 500 before it went all the way up to several thousands. This is one shot where Renee got 3 silvers in a row.
This is Max when he got 3 silvers too.
Because we stayed on the Nevada side this time, we went to this side of Heavenly. It is crowded everywhere on this side. We still managed to take a group picture next to this lake where we stopped by for lunch.
The next day, we went to the California side and found our favorite spot where the line is the shortest. I pretty much spent the whole day here.
Renee and Max can ride with me and go faster. I often have to ask them to wait for me to bind my board because otherwise they will disappear and wait for me at the bottom of the trail.
Here is the family photo when we leaving the house. The house sits on top of the cliff with great views to the lake.
I saw this house mentioned on the news and we checked it out. We had to make two trips because the first time the house was out of power. It is a great place to visit.
In preparing for a troop hike, we went to the north side of the San Francisco and hiked towards the Golden Gate Bridge along the water.
There is the Golden Gate Bridge! Unfortunately, the starting point was too far such that we never reached it. I adjusted the starting point for the next hike.
Renee and Max had their cousin visiting. Max got this ship model as present.
