It Takes My Breath Away...

I realize this blog title is no help. Usually, you can read someones blog title and form some sort of conclusion or opinion of what the blogger is going to discuss. In this case, by giving you the information that "It Takes My Breath Away" I could be talking about the trailer for Eclipse, the number of unpedicured toes I've seen in ill-fitting sandals, or even the "bless his heart" moment on the bachelorette last night. I know what you're thinking...."Which one??" And you would be right, but I'm specifically talking about Casey serenading Ali and her attempt to not laugh. Fail.

Although those are all worthy of a blog post, the topic at hand is my recent trip to Lake Tahoe. It was fabulous. It was relaxing, refreshing, 65 degrees and sunny rather than 99 degrees with 99% humidity, and most of all it was utterly breathtaking. I just kept thinking to myself that God is so good and so creative.

Dave turned 30 last month and my gift to him was a trip to Lake Tahoe. Neither of us had ever been and it looked like a place we would enjoy. Most importantly, it had amazing golf courses which was the key ingredient for the birthday boy! We spent several days hiking, eating, exploring North and South Lake Tahoe, taking a million photos (you think I'm kidding...567!), more eating, playing 2 golf courses and just enjoying such amazing beauty everywhere we turned. From the crystal blue water to the snow capped mountains it was truly a sight in every direction!

We're ready for Lake Tahoe round 2! Here are a few (or 30) pictures from our trip. I might have taken several landscape photos...I couldn't help myself.

Dave may or may not have originally had the pine cones in another area before I informed him that his mother would be seeing these...

Much better seeing these little boogers in the wild than in my bathroom!

Just taking a little breather and enjoying the view...

The views from the golf course were stunning. One direction was snow capped mountains and the other was the lake...

On Saturday we drove to South Lake Tahoe and went to Edgewood Country Club where the Celebrity Golf Tournament is held...it was stunning! We walked on the beach, I braved the COLD water and we took a few pictures of the course.

We had an amazing time! As you can see, it was nothing short of gorgeous....I'm thinking of future trips...couple's trip, girl's trip, family trip....sign me up!

*I've had a couple questions about the following: If I asked people to take all of these pictures of us? No, I didn't ask people to take our pictures, I took a tripod! It works fabulously. You don't have to bug people, you can take multiple pictures if it doesn't turn out the way you want it, etc. And why can't you click on my pictures and enlarge them? I have no idea! If anyone knows how to make that happen let me know! XOXO
