Lake Tahoe

The family and I took a little trip to Lake Tahoe after we left Iowa. We had such a nice time exploring the area and trying to find things to do. It was in between tourist seasons, so activities were a little limited, but we found enough to keep us busy. :) We drove around the lake, which was beautiful, went on a hike to Vikingsholm Castle, went on a sailboat cruise on the lake, did a little shopping, managed to catch the Iowa Hawkeye game in a casino, and relaxed! One of the most adventurous things we did was to go ziplining! I'm not too fond of heights (and neither is my mom), but once we did the first "zip", it wasn't as scary and turned out to be a lot of fun! I made a video of our ziplining adventure, which you can see here: Ziplining Video.

Ziplining!

I went ziplining while we were in Lake Tahoe, and here is a video that sums up our experience :) It was pretty scary at first, but after the first couple of "zips" it got a lot easier to step off the platform. Definitely want to do it again someday!
