Tahoe boat trip
September 25, 2004

It's a hot afternoon in East Bay - 99°F. I jump into the car and head off to the sierras.

The way up along hwy 88 is a sure treat.

There's a window into the creek a bit further down.




Studying some sort of snow fall scale, and snow melt gauge...




getting a bite at the Rockwater Bar & Grill




...while Hanna remains at home, designing her web pages.




Somewhat later, we head over to Shawna & Dave's. He's making pasta.




While the pasta sits for a while, we gear up and climb into their power boat.




-Say 'hi', Lukas.




Dave takes us straight out onto the deep, deep Lake Tahoe.

Andrew's having a good ol' time in the back.




Oh, and me too, I s'pose.




Deep inside Emerald's Bay, there's this tea house sitting on a rock. The rock's the only island in entire Lake Tahoe.

Surrounded by 9000' peaks, boating on Lake Tahoe is quite breathtaking.




Dave finishes off his all-homemade pesto & mozarella lasagna, served with parmesan topped with 100 year old balsamic vinegar from Italy.




That, my friend, was a feast!
