On the third day of my vacation I decided to give the slots a rest and drive over
to Lake Tahoe. While I had been to Lake Tahoe numerous times before, this was my
first visit in winter time. All the snow made it beautiful.

The rain also paused briefly so I could spend a little time by the ocean.
It was a short trip, only eight days.
But I had fun despite the weather and its short length.
