So about a week ago, I went to Tahoe with some family members. This seems as though it is becoming an annual trip. Last November we went because my grandma had passed away and it had always been her wish to have her ashes spread on the shores of Lake Tahoe. We found a beautiful spot last year to spread her ashes and had our own little funeral for her. The weekend last year was fun but was more of a rememberance of her than anything else. This year was more of a vacation. We got to Tahoe and checked in. It was so beautiful up there and it was completely deserted. There was no snow except for a light dusting on the tallest peaks. Since the ski season was not yet in full swing, we were in an abandoned town. My dad had researched a restaurant that was voted best by some type of magazine, and we decided to try that for dinner. It was so good, we had it again a second night. The trip was fun but we did have a purpose in going to see where we had laid my grandma. That was done on the last day. It wasn't as sad as I had expected it to be. I didn't have a super strong connection with where we laid her it was more of other places that held memories instead, like her favorite casino and if I could've gone back to her house and things of that nature. Those would have had a stronger effect on my life than a place where we put her ashes. However, it is probably one of the prettiest places I have ever seen so I am glad that's where she is. Overall it was a fun weekend but there was no bear sighting this year as much as I wanted it to happen again, since last year we had one run right out in front of us while driving.
