6:30am MT ~ 48 degrees ~ Overcast
Time to rise & shine!! In a few short hours, we will be heading to the Napa Valley area for a few days of sun (& a tan), warmth (ready for it), good eats, fun, wine (that's whine if I don't get a spa visit in Callistoga) & some of the prettiest scenery there is (got my camera ready). Can't wait to get there!! I have high expectations of our time spent there & it ain't because of the wine & food selection alone ~ the vineyards & wineries are gorgeous (I have ALWAYS wanted a winery & the vineyards ~ the little farmer girl in me I suppose). Sonoma is home to Nascar's Infineon Race Track, you can go horseback riding through the vineyards with a real cowboy, the coastline is close by (nothing like the SC coastline mind you) & there are giant redwood trees as well. Ummmhuhh, this is probably the reason I jumped right out of bed this morning!!
Yesterday was our last day here at Tahoe. We had no real plans yet it turned out to be a really neat day. We did some housekeeping, laundry, business details, Jeep & RV maintenance. Then, went into town to "kick tires". I got a quick tan (uggghh, I had to tan in a competitors bed, not a happy experience). Let me tell you people, the bed to tan in is Ergoline's Sun Angel; there is simply no bed like it ~ the color is phenominal & lasting and the experience is truly "heavenly!! Contact meredith.tomlin@fstanning.com for the scoop.
Anyway, back to yesterday, I was on a little tanning tangent there. Then I happened by a New Day Hair & Nail Spa & what da ya know, they had an opening for moi!! I finally got my tresses "maintained" (talk about a happy day). My hairdresser was Linda Schrade #530.542.4945 ~ awesome gal!! Then, dreams do come true.................I finally got sushi (I had been craving it for a week)!! Linda recommended "Off The Hook" & we gave it a try ~ excellent!! And, last but not least, what do you do when there are casino's in town.....................you go inside & play a little blackjack. Well, Chip did anyway. The sun was setting about that time, the clouds dramatic around the mountain peaks & my camera was practically "jumpin" out of it's bag. So, I rode around, found a nice beachy area where I could get optimal views, parked the Jeep, had my camera poised for action, then....................next thing I know, all these other people appear out of "nowhere" (sort of like a scary movie) to do the same exact thing I was doing (see, great minds think alike). Yep, we all got those gorgeous photos of a dramatic sunset over Lake Tahoe. It was blissful; all is well with my soul ~ God did good............again!!
Had to go back & rescue, uh, I mean pick up Chip at Harrah's; seems he did more "paying the rent" than "hitting the jackpot". But, it's all good, he did what made him happy.
Best wishes for a happy day to you all. Still wish you could be here. It's not too late!!
