Have You Ever been to Lake Tahoe?

If you are anything like me, then you probably love to travel. When I was younger, I would travel all over the place with my family constantly. Sometimes we would head up to the California coast for some fishing. Other times we would go on a hiking trip, or maybe even camping. It didn't matter though, because we had a great time no matter what.

Now that I have a family of my own, I want to continue those same traditions. I strongly think that people should get out of the house once in a while. I really don't want to get lazy like that, and I know my kids don't. I strongly think that you can appreciate the world more if you see more of it.

Last year we went to Lake Tahoe for a long week. In case you haven't been there, you would really love it. You won't believe your eyes when you see how clear this lake is. You also won't believe how cold it is on your feet.

We decided to try and avoid staying in a hotel this trip though. Hotels are never much fun, but in Tahoe they are worse. The thing is, you smell like smoke the whole time because the gamers like to smoke a lot. The other thing is that you pay a fortune to eat in the restaurants in there.

My plan was simple enough however. I did some searching and ended up finding some awesome rental houses for us to stay in. I was fearful that I would end up spending more money in a rental house, but I was quite wrong. In fact, I ended up saving a few hundred dollars by finding a great rental place for us to stay in.

We also managed to save a lot of money on our eating. Since we had a full kitchen, all we had to do was go to the store to buy some food and we were set. It was great.

I believe we may head back this coming winter as well. I thought that trying out some snow skiing would be a blast. I hate cold weather, but I know that skiing equipment keeps you really warm, and we would have a fireplace to use too.
