beauty

My extreme absence in blogging has a reason:

We were a little preoccupied over the last part of July.  Matt and I, along with my aunt and uncle and college roommate and her husband, drove a total of 3,886 miles across 8 states to visit here:

Lake Tahoe.  It is absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the world.  Matt and I went there on our honeymoon and jumped at the chance to travel with my aunt and uncle this summer when they asked.  Because my college roommate is a teacher, I asked if she and her hubby would like to join us and was so glad that they could!  We had a great time seeing the beautiful scenery, enjoying the *perfect* weather, laying on the beach, going out for walks, and just spending time together.  We didn't take our kiddos along (which was definitely hard!), but really enjoyed having time for each other.  It was a lovely vacation and we can't wait to go back again someday.  

Yes, this place is a bit of heaven.
