It's always fun to be a little spontaneous!! This week we played hookie from school, work and home responsiblities when our friends offered us a hotel room up at Lake Tahoe for the night. We arrived on Monday night with just enough time for the girls to turn the fireplace on and off a half a million times, eat popcorn, and get thoroughly wound up before bed. On Tuesday, I took the girls for a morning swim in the 85 degree pool while Mark did a little work (he couldn't completely play hookie) then we spent the rest of the day checking out Heavenly Village and on a very beautiful walk to see some spawning salmon near the lake. We had a terrific time and got thank you's from our girls for a couple of days later. When asked what their favorite part of the trip was, they both said it was watching TV from their very own bed in the hotel room!!
