May, 30th: TAHOE, CALIFORNIA

May 30th:

We have been around the U.S. in 75 days and hard to believe that we are back in California.  Of all the beautiful country that we have seen all over America there is nothing like Lake Tahoe.  I can easily say now that I have traveled the US, that it is my favorite place, besides Maui,, in America.     The smell of the fresh mountain air, the beauty of the mountains with snow, and the sun reflecting off the clear blue lake is a little slice of heaven. 

Today was a perfect day of relaxation on the beach by the lake.  The kids were thrilled to play in the water, catch crawdads, swim, and build a sand fort for their crawdads to live in.   Shelley and I spent the day at the breath-taking beach trying to catch up on our Blogs and just relaxing.  It was absolutely beautiful and I don’t want to go home back to the rat race of life.  .   I’m trying really hard not to be sad about the trip being over, but to be thankful for all that we have accomplished. 

We thouroughly enjoyed our time at Tahoe with the conclusion that after traveling across the country that it is truly the most beautiful place in America!  We so easily take it for granted because it is so close to us, but I don't think I ever will again!

It’s been a wonderful, amazing, adventurous, educational, renewing, crazy and perfect provided trip by God. We will remember it for the rest of our lives. Thank you Lord for your “good and perfect gifts”!!
