It's a winter wonderland!

I just got back this mornig from a great weekend in Tahoe with a good friend of mine. It was supposed to be a girls weekend with some friends from highschool but one got sick, one could not make the flight here, and one was worried about the weather. So it was just the two of us but we had a great time. We did not do a whole lot but that is kind of the point. We read, watched movies, went in the hot tub, and ate.

We were planning on leaving Sunday afternoon. Packed up and on our way we got to the main road and saw that the cars were not even moving. It was snowing, and had been all day. So we went back to the condo and thought we would wait a couple of hours and try again. We did that and got in the line of cars that were still not moving. Good thing we were prepared. We poped a movie in the computer and watched it while we were stopped. About every 15 minutes we would move a little and then stop again, watch some of the movie, and then move a little more. We did this for three hours and where did we get? To the freeway which was about 20 miles. That's right. Three hours, one movie and 20 miles. Once we got to the freeway things were only looking worse. The freeway looked like a parking lot. Nobody was going anywhere and there were a lot of cars.

At this point we decided to head back to the condo, get some sleep and try again in the morning. With the alarm set for 6am we tried to get some sleep. After both of us tossing and turning all night we woke, packed again and were on our way. Things were much better. It was still snowing really hard but there were not nearly as many cars on the road so we were moving. It was slow going but we were blessed to have a good car for the snow. It was a big adventure and we were happy to be home. I was so glad to see my kids. I was gone longer then we were all expecting.

It is always so sweet to be welcomed home by my kids. They make it so much fun.
