We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

Seattle to Reno to Tahoe!

Our adventure is barely 12 hours old, but already we have done so much! The real adventure came at around 7:30 (yes, AM) when we heard our names on the airport loudspeaker. Huh. How many planes are ready to leave early? You know, ready except for the two missing passengers. Yikes!  So after a quick morning jog, we boarded what is the smallest plane I have flown in outside of Alaska. I mean bigger than a Cessna or something, but seemed so small to be flying out of SeaTac. Needless to say, we were wedged in like sardines.  Thank you, thank you, thank you that our flight was short!



Arriving upon Reno is when our typical Spring Break adventure began.  We have flown in to Atlanta twice, and each time, we have gone through multiple cars before getting one that was just right.  I have many "selfies" waiting with our luggage in Atlanta while mom exchanged car after car. In Reno, we got to our car -- a giant Ford Explorer. Four wheel drive, roomy, clean…and then we started the car.  And the "check engine oil" light came on.  

ACM Break -- The Band Perry is singing….

Anyway, there was a lot of laughter as we began the process of exchanging cars in yet another airport. It's looking like a trend at this point!



From Reno, we drove up through the mountains and in to Tahoe where we are staying just across the state line in California.  Lake Tahoe is everything we had heard -- huge, clear and beautiful! We had amazing pizza for dinner -- yes pizza that rivaled Fultanos, Lahaina Pizza Co., and whatever that place in Bermuda was.  



We have mapped out tomorrow and are ready to forget what a normal Monday would hold and explore some ghost towns!!
