We have been busy! On Easter Sunday we went to Lake Tahoe . It was a great trip and a beautiful day. We learned that the bottom of the lake is lower than the elevation of Carson City, the deepest spot is 1600 feet deep and it doesn't get any warmer than 62 degrees. Besides that, it was a lovely drive there and around the lake and we got to see where Kristen and Shane were married. What a lovely spot!
The vineyards in the Napa Valley were amazing. The well tended vines and their support system made the hills and valleys look like they were quilted into the soil. ( I do miss my sewing room). We didn't do any tasting though. We thought about it, but... oh, well.
After taking the Whale Watching boat in Ventura, CA and getting skunked, we saw spouts and flukes from the cliffs on the coast. That's quite a mouthful! We also saw lots of seals with pups peppering the water. Thousands of them. I wanted to get closer, but Rick had us on a schedule (think Mary Poppins here) and we didn't have time to find a way down by car and still see everything he had on our list. Rick's knee is still causing him discomfort, and sometimes downright pain, so walking down to the coast was out of the question. We try to see more than we have time to really experience. It's hard to know what to cross off the list for another time, and which have to be experienced now. We always want to do it ALL! Sounds normal, doesn't it?
Tonight we are camped at the foot of Mount Shasta in Northern California. It is wonderful and we should have a beautiful drive tomorrow to Bend, Or.
