Topher & Marcia Visit

This past weekend we had the pleasure of some of our dear friends from Houston come visit their parents in California who just happen to live in our neighborhood! They were spending the weekend at Lake Tahoe skiing and were kind enough to invite us to come up for a night and day when they were taking the day off from skiing. We were so excited to see our friends!

They were staying in South Lake Tahoe so we decided to explore Emerald Bay. It's a part of the lake that is only accessible from the lake by boat. There are no roads that drive down to the water. It's gorgeous and to add on top of it's natural beauty, it is still very snowy up there. I think we forgot that we live 2 hours from such an incredible place.

After driving halfway around the bay, we saw signs for a hike to Eagle Falls. We were ready to stretch our legs and climb some rocks. Mitchell was kind enough to take it slow and make sure his preggo wife didn't fall.

After a few hours hiking around in higher altitude than we're used to, we stopped for burgers and milkshakes at a local joint in South Lake.


Not only was the scenery and day beautiful to add to the merriness, but time with good friends just can't be beat. So thankful for time with these two, and all the Smiths!
