Spring Break 2015

The kids came home for their Spring Break.

They were here for a week, and that week didn't

coincide with either one of our Spring Breaks (Todd's & mine).

So we decided to take Friday and the weekend 

and make the most of it.

First thing I did when the kiddos arrived was take

them to get their favorites...blended coffee drinks.

We then headed to Tahoe for the night.

We did  a lot of eating and relaxing,

but we did manage to get a couple little short

excursions in and some nice pictures to go with them.

We decided to drive through some little towns

that we don't usually take the time to visit.

Our first stop was Fallen Leaf Lake area.

Glen Alpine Falls

We didn't do much hiking because the parking areas 

were right next to the sites that we wanted to see.

Even though you didn't have to work hard 

to get to the actual waterfall,

it was still pretty awesome.

The kids enjoyed hopping around from rock to rock.

I enjoyed photobombing them!

I know...what a child.

Look at my handsome kids.

Such little cuties.

After the waterfall, we drove up the road about

half a mile and came to a little alpine lake.

I'm not remembering the name,

but it was so picturesque.

Does it get any better than this?

We goofed around for about 1/2 hour,

and then decided to be on our way.

We ended up stopping in Tahoe City,

but for whatever reason, I didn't get any pictures.

I could swear that I took some, 

but they aren't on my camera.

Hmmm, old age sucks!

AND

because we were on vacation,

we indulged a little bit.

We also went out to eat.

Okay, seriously, does Austin look like me?

and

does Lexx look like Todd?

This was a debate we had throughout our little trip.

I kept saying that Lexx could be Todd's twin,

and Austin looks like me.

Some in the family disagree.

Thoughts?

Our trip didn't last long,

just a two days and a night,

but we had fun spending time together.

We are all so busy with work and school 

that it was nice to be able to just wind down

and enjoy each others company.

Do you have any plans to get away at Spring Break?
