Who doesn’t love a great adventure!?! I enjoy traveling, finding new fun things to do as well as visiting old favorite spots. It often takes time to plan and execute, but it’s always worth the effort! I find I feel more rejuvenated about the monotony of everyday life when I make the time for these fun adventures for me and/or my family.
I remember one spring feeling particularly guilty for not getting up to the snow to go sledding with my kids. I thought the window of opportunity had past for that year; however I discovered snow still covered enough of the Sierra Nevadas that all hope for that year was not lost. On the last weekend of March, we packed our car up and headed up the hill to find some snow!! We eventually found a small sledding hill mostly in the shade that provided us with an afternoon of snowy delight in a North Tahoe Recreation and Park area. The snow was too crunchy for snow angels, but still good for making a snowman and sledding. Snow sprayed us as we laughed, played, and climbed in the snow all day!!
