Fun Weekend!

Went to the Riv this weekend for some fun, was a loner though with Con on a work trip. Left San Marcos on Saturday to Amanda's to go to the baby shower for Debbie & Kenny together. Had this itch to get Bakers on the way but the invite said Dinner and Drinks. Got to Amanda's after playing 21 questions with the security guard. Went up to the house and was bummed that I passed up at least 3 bakers on the way. Walked in and Jay had some Canyon Cottage food that Amanda brought back for him even though he was ditching us at the co-ed shower. I was about to eat one of his jalapeño poppers. By now it was 4:45 and the bowl of Cinnamon Life I ate 11am was not cutting it anymore.

Get to the shower, pouring down rain, funny neighbor wiping down his car and ringing out the rag while it was raining. Made it to the baby shower, bummer everyone we know is out side huddled under the 6 ez-ups. To bad there is an opening I have to get wet. Said many hellos, saw chips and salsa, saw the bar...and then the bad news came. Taco guy got his truck stuck and is not even here yet. How long I think, no one knows. Dang it, should have stopped at Bakers. Chatting, eating chips and salsa....finally he is here. Geez how long does it take to make carne asada, chicken, carnitas and pastor. Oh well not like I can make him go faster. Was not feeling the Bud Lite or other choices as I knew I wanted to go snowboarding...went for Sams Diet Soda...Not bad. Huddled under the food tent before it was finished as I knew the line was going to get long. Hooked my ride up with a plate I mean why make her get wet also.

More chatting and raining, boots wet, socks wet, time to go. Stayed at Conrad's parents since I was going snowboarding with my little sister today and because they are awesome! Stayed up and talked with his sister Lexie whil watching TV. Had to get some nachos. Geez could have gone for more taco guy, to bad he ran out.

Woke up and went to get donuts with Conrad's parents. They sent me on my way and off to Mountain High I went. Conrad likes to call it Mountain Low. I did not think it was that bad. Glad my little sister decided to ski and not snowboard as how am I going to teach her when I am not even that good. Went up and did some runs, she skied I boarded, we seemed to be at the same pace. So many people there but we had free lift tickets to why complain.

Went to eat and it started to snow, so fun...oh no now it is really coming down. No chains, bummer. Should we stay or should we go. I mean we can still make it down, but I do still have to drive back to SD. Down we went. Here are some fun pics from the day, one from the car with snow on it! Loved spending the day with my little sister.

Sisters!

Courtney looking pro, she did so great!

Do not be fooled by the ski poles I was holding them for my sister as she took the picture.

Thanks El Nino for a great day on the Mountain in So Cal!

30th Birthday Tahoe Trip

What an awesome weekend filled with friends, fun, amazing snow and many memories!

Conrad getting ready to go snow tubbing.


My last day as 29 getting ready to go down the tubbing trail head first.


My friends Anna and Leah at the top of the tube trail.


View from tram going up heavenly mountain.


Amazing view of lake tahoe from the lakeview lodge on my bday. Perfect amount of sun and fresh powder to make it the best day on the mountain. The lodge kept me captive a few days later when the same view looked like this...





This is a picture taken by my iPhone of the picture Amanda bought me from the sharp shooter. I look pro in that shot. HaHa! I wish!

Thanks to Conrad, Amanda, Anna, Jay and Leah for making it a great birthday weekend.

Thanks mom for the lift tickets present.

Spots to highlight...
Nepheles - best burgers, bar, beer, shots, staff and private hot tubs! Thanks Josh. 1-4-24!

Improv at Harvey's - Dat Phan from San Diego was hilarious.

Hard Rock Cafe - I love Hard Rock and go every chance possible when traveling.

Chart House - Got there to late for the prime rib or lobster as they sold out, but still had a amazing meal with good friends and two bottles of Opus One. Thanks J&A

Harvey's and Harrah's Casinos -thank you for letting me gamble with the same $20 all night and getting free beers. Well I guess they were not free since I lost my $20 after three tables and a few hours.

Now I am thirty! Happy 2010!
