Incline Village, Nevada

we left Kirkwood on Friday morning (16th)...and here's what it looked like out the window.
we had to buy snow chains and we were hoping we'd make it over the pass. We were headed to Incline Village , Nevada. Megan, Maris, Maris, Gannon, Ian, Martha and Tony loaded up their vehicle and headed in to Reno.
here's the view from the front seat.
Check out the sign at the entrance.
We made it..and arrived at Incline Village a few hours later.
A friend at Story time told me about the place...John got a condo for two nights.We were in Bear Country...(but we didn't see any...too bad)
Here's the view out the back door of our place. I went out and walked around...looking at the big pine cones, listening to the birds, etc
then then storm started moving in here
big globs of snow started falling...it was great!
so...of course I had to go out!

I don't remember how many times I went in and back out....it was too fun to stay inside!
eventually I did come inside and we made a plan for the evening. The Hyatt hotel and casino was a few blocks away from our place. The beach was a block and a half.
we walked to the beach to check out the lake up close.

John was a little cold...but he humored me and walked around a bit
we decided to go see the pier at the Hyatt. If had been a good night...we would've sat out by the fire pit and had a cocktail.
Instead we went in by the fireplace

I had a delicious champagne cocktail...John had a specialty martini and then we headed back to our place to get ready for dinner.

it was snowing a little harder...and we had to stop along the way for some photos...haha

Before dinner...here's what the back looked like...the snow was starting to stick
