Well, we’ve been here two weeks and we’re already taking vacations. That’s alright, I think we earned one with the move. (Which, incidentally, still isn’t completed. The second truck should show up later this week. If I was to guess, most likely while we’re still out of town.) Anyway, I’m compelled to keep things brief for a few reasons: 1. I’m on vacation and have better things to do. Actually I don’t but I probably should. 2. I’m relying on our Verizon hotspot to post this, and we’re teetering on the edge of data overage.

So, as it happens, we’re in wonderful South Lake Tahoe for a bit. At an hour and a half from our new house, I imagine we’ll be making short trips up here quite a bit. So far I don’t have any exciting ski trips or anything to relate; We’re just kind of checking things out this time. We arrived Saturday, threw our stuff in the hotel room, and hiked to a nearby place to watch the Missouri game. Sunday, we walked all the way to Nevada (about a mile) and found the Chiefs game on a big screen at Harrah’s. We ended up next to a couple from Overland Park, so we made for a nice cheering section. The smoke in that place drove me out though, I watched the second half by myself at a different place nearby. After the game we wandered around the lake for a bit, then spent the rest of the day at the resort watching football.

We’re here until (maybe) Wednesday, so we’ll see what other opportunities come up. There isn’t much of a schedule involved so we’re just kind of winging it. The one place we found so far to board the dog is rather exorbitantly expensive so we might head back and bail her out early. (Her per-night boarding rate is more than our condo in Tahoe. Seriously. Something is wrong there…)
