California!!!

Today was a nice, weird and long day of driving! We started out the drive, leaving the Salt Lake sun and ended up driving through snow, yes SNOW and 50 mph gusts of wind! We definitely were not prepared for these conditions, being in shorts, short sleeved shirts and sandals! Enjoy the pictures ;) Nevada rest stops are definitely an experience! The picture of us in the snow, and the small brown house is the rest stop. Consisting of 2 toilets, basically just a hole in the ground! All the gas stations have casinos at them, too! Oh, Nevada!!
But, one perk of Nevada is part of Lake Tahoe resides in Nevada! Lake Tahoe is AMAZING! The views from our drive are picturesque and perhaps the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen with my own two eyes! Our hotel in Tahoe is literally one block from the state line! I would have thought California would have invested in a bigger "welcome to California" sign, but my friend (born and raised in California) stated this was probably all they could afford since Cali is in so much debt ;) We had an enjoyable Mongolian BBQ dinner and tried out our luck at the casino! As quickly as we won money, we lost it quicker!! I have a new found love for roulette, though!! Until tomorrow, when we will be in San Fran!!! xoxoxo
