Rich, G and I spent a few days in the heart of gorgeous South Lake Tahoe. We stayed at the Embassy Suites (I've never stayed at this one before) and boy was it a treat! We had a great suite with two separate living areas...and best of all was their complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast (think made-to-order omelets, fresh waffles, etc. - yum!). This was certainly a family friendly place to stay.
One of Gannon's favorite experiences in Tahoe was boarding the MS Dixie II for a two-hour cruise through the lake to Emerald Bay. From the Dixie we were able to see the famous Vikingsholm Castle, not to mention some breathtaking views! The other adventure Gannon really enjoyed was riding the Heavenly tram or gondola into the alpine mountain. The gondola took us up 2.4 miles to enjoy shore-to-shore views of Lake Tahoe. Once we arrived to the top of the mountain, Rich took Gannon on a little rock climbing adventure.
The weather was perfect in Tahoe. If you're looking for a quick get away...this is a great place. I have to admit that this is the first time that Rich and I (together) had spent time in Tahoe without the snow! Summer is just as beautiful in this lovely town as is winter.

Look G - there is the tram that we're going on right now!
Gannon is so excited to ride the tram!
Gorgeous view from half way up the mountain.
Climbing, climbing...I did it!!!
