A Great End to My Summer Break

My husband and I are just finishing a week trip to California to celebrate 26 years of marriage.  Just last week our son was married.  If you have ever had a child get married, it can be a very busy time.  I enjoyed it but this trip was much needed for some down time and to unplug.  Since we are waiting on a flight back to Texas, I thought I would take some time and share some photos with you.  I hope you don’t mind it not being educational today.

 The Castle is on Lake Tahoe in Emerald Bay.  One of the most beautiful places for a castle.  It is one of the most popular places to tour on Lake Tahoe.

 We took a few hours yesterday to enjoy laying out by the pool.  It is cold too so we only got in the water for a few seconds and then cover myself in a warm towel.  

 My husband and I love the mountains and the cooler temperatures during the summer.  We always head north or far from Texas during the hot month of July.  If you love mountains and wonderful scenery, this is a great trip.  It reminded us of our trip to Wyoming and at times our trip to Maine.

 You can’t go to San Francisco and not see the coast while you are there.  We drove Highway 1 along the coast.  It was absolutely beautiful and scary.  The road is curvy and narrow at times.  I had to fight car sickness at some points.  It is very foggy and I think it is most days.  We pulled over and braved the cold winds coming off the coast to snap a few pictures.
