Part TWO Honeymoon: Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley
Our last night at Northstar there was a "Retro Skate night." We were all over it. Of course, we had just finished several days of Downhill riding at Mammoth and Northstar with -thankfuly- no injuries, only to eat s---t on the darn roller skates!
We still had a blast...Cracking each other up and laughing more than skating...
We followed Retro skate night by a yummy sushi dinner...
The next morning we arrived at our next and final destination, this charming little honeymoon hideaway right by the lake! It was a surprise to me, and it was just perfect. How does he do it?
It was cozy inside and we even had a huge jacuzzi tub!
We were lucky enough to catch the sunset across our hideaway a few times...
And found ourselves at the coolest outdoor bars, with a total tropical feel... we had to remind ourselves we were in the mountains!
We spent 4th of July day on the beach...
Took out Kayaks out to "sea" (couldn't believe how blue and clear the lake was!)
Which we paddled down to yet another tropical feel waterfront bar for Bloody Marys and appys
Spent 4th of July afternoon/eve on a "cocktail cruise" and had a blast...
Happy Independence!!!

Our next stop was Squaw Valley and we did the Lake Shirley hike... we never hike, as we are usually on bikes, but it was a gorgeous hike, along a big stream...
It was a pretty gnarly hike!
It took us two hours to hike up to Lake Shirley, and Dan dove in for a dip!
Then we hiked further...
And further... till we hit patches of snow
Another hour of hiking and then the top!
And up and over, we arrived at the very top where the resort was. If it wasn't for the snow patches, this too, felt like we were somewhere tropical!
