Ahh the Beachcomber...my 2nd home all through out high school. Karen's family has been part of this timeshare for as far back as I can remember. Karen, Vicky and I always went up for her birthday weekend (March 2nd) and for a week over 4th of July when we were younger and had less responsibilities. We have been up a few times since we became adults, but not nearly as much as we would have liked. This year Karen decided it had been long enough and invited us all up to celebrate the big 28. Her and Jon headed up early Friday morning and Mike, Cary, Vicky, Victoria and I headed up after work Friday night. Poor Mike...stuck in the car with 4 hyper girls blasting their girly music (don't ya wanna dance, say you wanna dance, don't you wanna dance!) We didn't make it up until midnight but Jon had a fresh batch of Margaritas waiting for us upon arrival. Everyone was pretty exhausted so it wasn't long before we set up our beds for the night. 7 people in a one bedroom timeshare is pretty tight, but we made it work!
Saturday we got dressed for the snow and hit the snow covered beach next to the timeshare. There was lots of disking down the hill and we even shared our sleds with some kids that were without. We then moved on to making a snowman, that was uh...very anatomically correct! This is what happens with you have men help you build your snowman!
After getting of fill of snow time we headed up to the indoor hot tub then had a great lunch of home made potato leek soup and grilled cheese. Perfect snow lunch! We pretty much hung out the rest of the day and ended up in the game room playing pool and Foosball until Victoria was done cooking us a delicious pasta dinner. We took our time getting ready and hopped in a couple cabs to the casinos. Us old married couples were pretty tired so we left the single girls to have their fun without us not too much later.
Sunday we all enjoyed breakfast together at the timeshare before attempting to go walking around some shops near the state line. It was freezing and windy so we didn't last long! We went back "home" and Jon BBQed us a yummy steak lunch (yes all we do is eat on vacation!). After packing up all our gear, just in time for it to start snowing, we hit the road waving goodbye to Karen and Jon - who are still stuck in Tahoe!!! Victoria got to experience her first snow EVER which she got some amazing pictures of as we drove over the summit.
We had a great trip and I can't wait to do it again next year! Hopefully we can bring the tradition back strong! Thank you Karen for a super fun weekend!!!!
