Snowy Weekend!

This past weekend Juan and I took a spontaneous trip up to Alpine County, which is a few hours south of Tahoe and absolutely gorgeous! We left on Friday, on a beautiful Fall day. We had a picnic at Lake Alpine and read books by a roaring fire. It was every cliched movie you've ever seen. Saturday morning, however, we woke up to an amazing, thick blanket of snow. We're valley kids, so we still run around and squeal when we see snow. We almost got snowed in, but we braved it and our trusty Jeep took us back down to safety! (And boringness! Is that a word? I should know, I'm an English teacher, for crying out loud!)
