We took our second weekend trip to Tahoe this weekend. I can see it being a fairly regular occurrence; It’s quite a bit of entertainment for an hour and a half of driving. Much like last time, we didn’t really take in any “activities,” just sort of hung out. We got there late Friday and were really questioning the wisdom of our trip when we stepped out of the car into the sub-freezing, windy weather. Hmmmm, we just left 60 degrees for this? On purpose? Well, the decision had been made, so we parked the car and walked to dinner down the street. We darn near froze walking back from the restaurant, so we cranked up the fireplace in the room and called it a night.
Saturday we accomplished a similar amount of nothing. We retrieved the car and were heading for a late lunch at Harrah’s, but the valet recommended The Lucky Beaver so we took him at his word and changed plans. The place was a bit on the cheesy side (I’d liken it to a Hooter’s) but he was correct in that the food was very good. Unfortunately it was SO good we overate and had to cancel our reservations at Riva Grill that night. Sort of a bummer, as I was really looking forward to it, but I was stuffed. We trudged to the couch and fell asleep watching college football. Pretty much just like being at home on a Saturday, but somewhere else.
Sunday we got up semi-early and got the heck out. We stopped for breakfast at The Red Hut, which was a fine way to start the day. I had the chicken & waffles, which while delicious wasn’t quite what I was looking for. (For whatever reason I like wings with my chicken & waffles. Don’t know why, I just do.) I should have stuck with the biscuits and gravy I originally ordered… I guarantee we’ll be back though so I’ll get them next time. After that we were on the road, and back home in time for the second half of the Chief’s debacle. Grilled up some nice salmon fillets for dinner, and called it a weekend.
