Have You Even Taken a Trip to to Lake Tahoe CA?

By Devon Charney


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 believe that kids are indoors too much these days you know. I don't want to be like that and I do not want my family to be like that either. I truly think it makes people appreciate life more if they can see the world a bit.

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.

But my solution was simple. After a bit of looking around, I found some really nice rental homes we could stay in. I was skeptical that a rental house would cost more than a hotel, but it didn't at all. I honestly saved quite a bit of money by staining in a rental house to my shock.

We also managed to save a lot of money on our eating. With full kitchen access, we just needed some groceries and we were good to go for the week. It was great.

This winter I think I want to go back too. I had the idea that I should try snow skiing before I get too old to do so. Although I'm not much a fan of cold weather, I think that with enough gear piled on I should be able to keep comfortable enough to fully enjoy myself.
