Evening Out!

We ended up having to leave Tahoe a day earlier than planned to attend a work function for Chris in San Francisco. Mary Ann and John kindly offered to keep Marshall with them in Tahoe so we didn't have to worry about a babysitter.

Chris' boss hosted dinner at The Westerfeld House, a privately owned Victorian mansion (check out the info on Wikipedia...it's a neat/colorful place). There was a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres, a 6 course meal, and a tour of the house. A very unique evening.

Chris and I really enjoyed our weekend together. The drive home from Tahoe, lunch out at our favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek, a fun evening with his co-workers, an overnight stay in SF, brunch Sunday morning. All without Marshall! We missed him but the parenting break was welcome.

Tahoe

We recently returned from a vacation at Lake Tahoe. We stayed on the south shore with our friends, Mary Ann and John, and had a wonderful, relaxing trip. We hiked, took a steam train ride to Virginia City, did a lake cruise, and drank wine every night. Chris got in lots of mountain bike rides. I don't think we've taken that much time away since our honeymoon! A very nice treat.
