Mammoth Lakes - Part Tres

Day three was pretty uneventful, 
if you ignore the fact that we drove all the way home.

We managed to eat breakfast, take some pictures,
 gas up and stop at a pharmacy before heading out.

Had to take a picture in front of the massive fireplace.

Todd and I spotted this map of the ski lifts.
We didn't realize there were lifts on all sides of the mountain.
The place is massive!
I would imagine it is a skiers dream...
unfortunately, I don't ski.

Todd spotted this poster at a rest stop
and thought it was hilarious.
I think that watching The Walking Dead
may have done something to his brain.

I thought that these yellow trees were soooooo beautiful.
The way the sunlight hit them, it looked like they were glowing.
I couldn't take a picture that recreated the effect.
I especially couldn't take it going 70 mph!
 
Aren't the different colors blended together just beautiful.

Oh, pretty!

We decided to stop for lunch right outside of Tahoe.
Where 88 hits Hwy 50
there is a little Mexican food restaurant that
I had been wanting to try for a little while.
 
They really did have yummy fish tacos...

See!
 

That was the last thing that we did before we made it home.
It was such a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
Sure made it hard to go back to work.
 
Do you ever wish your vacation lasted,
oh say, like 1, 2 maybe 3 weeks longer?

Brenda - I just wanted you to know I really enjoyed your posts. The pictures were great!! You now have me wanting to go on a Mammoth Lake trip:-)

You totally should. There is so much to do there. We have been there before, so we just relaxed, but there is hiking, skiing, lakes, biking, gondolas, golfing, shopping, probably close to anything your heart desires.

Beware though, we went in the off season. It can get busy during ski season and there are definitely more people there in the summer than when we were just there.

I would suggest going around June if it's your first time there.

I also enjoyed the beautiful pics (with the possible exception of the fish taco-lol). Now I will be worrying about the frightful thing this weekend!! Love y'all--AA
