Florida Powderskate Tahoe Trip

Adam has been itching to get ride his powderskates this year and just in time the snow started falling in Tahoe right before Christmas. We left Satuarday morning with the car packed fully loaded and headed northward.

Little man was out before we even hit the freeway.


We could tell we were heading into some nice weather.


We stayed with some friends in Woodland which is right outside of Sacramento. It was a great visit and Kalen had a ball playing with Stella the 3 year old. They were instant friends - taking each other on different adventures. It almost made me want another one - almost.




Sunday morning we made the rest of the trip to South Lake Tahoe. We got stuck on top of the pass - but only because no one knows how to pull off the road the put their chains on. They all tried to pull over in the same spot - luckily we were in the Quatrro and it does great in the snow, so no need for chains for us. Finally we made it to our little tiny hotel room. But for $50 a night, we didn't compain. And they had a sweet double hot tub that wasn't too hot for Kalen to play in. OUr only compaint about our stay was that the walls were too thin at times - but it only lasted for one night, thank goodness.

Adam had a successful trip testing his powderskates and selling boards. He sold 2 to a guy that lives in Tahoe and then got a phone call from a guy in Colorado who wants one. The more people that see them, the more popular they will get, because once you ride one, you realize what you've been missing.

Kalen loved the snow and loved the gondola. We all had a great time and can't wait to go back - only next time we might have a portable DVD player to help keep Kalen entertained on that 9 hour drive home.
