Salt Flats & Lake Tahoe

Two weeks ago from tomorrow, we packed up the Suburban and headed towards California for a family trip.  Our final destination was Santa Cruz, CA to meet up with the Johnstons, Rasmussens & my mother-in-law & sister-inlaw.   We decided to drive down in two days, which made our first stop Lake Tahoe.

About an hour & a half out of Salt Lake, we took a quick detour to the salt flats that are right along the freeway.   It was crazy to drive on and even though he begged, I wouldn't let Jon do "donuts" on them.  Not in a Suburban.  Not with our entire family in the car.

They were cool though!






When we got to Tahoe, we checked into our lodge and then went for a small hike to a waterfall.  The kids were great and had a fun time.








After hiking, we drove to a small town to a restaurant called "Bridgetender" and ate dinner.  It was pretty tasty.   The kids slept great that night and the next morning we were off for Santa Cruz!

Lake Tahoe is such a cool place. We went there a couple of times when I was in H.S. Love the huge pine cones!

How fun! (P.S. I would have told Roger no to doughnuts too! haha) Cute pics!
