It snowed in Truckee

What a great weekend!

Took a few hours to get to Truckee, we had some delays over the summit with all the snow on the road. Once in Truckee, we stopped at Bar Of America and had lunch and drinks by the window.

Then we spent the rest of the day and night at the cabin.

It snowed the entire time. The city came by and plowed the roads three times. Each time I got my boots on and shoveled the driveway. The next morning some jackass plowed the driveway. So I didn’t have to shovel all that snow after all.

BBQ’ed steaks and hotlinks. Drank many warm drinks by the fireplace. Lounged around in PJ’s and watched the snow fall. It was quiet. It was sooooooo quiet.

Yum amused herself. She’s so happy when we’re in the mountains. Good ol’ Yum.

We slept like rocks. The cabin has that affect on you.

Monday we started home, and quickly remembered that it was a holiday weekend. It took us five hours to get from Truckee to Sacramento. There’s always some dumbass in a car that takes his chains off early and slides all over the road. I witnessed at least two accidents happen right in front of me.

Last night, at home back in my own bed, I closed my eyes and imagined I was still in Truckee.

Click me! You know, for pics of the trip.

Leisure Town

Well, it’s official. We heard from the property manager today–we’re moving to Vacaville. And get this… the name of our new street is Leisure Town Road. Awww yeah, baby!

When we were looking for a new place to live I saw the name of the street and immediately knew that was the place for me. Oh hell yeah, I want to live in Leisure Town!

And Vacaville is about 40 minutes from work, and 30 minutes from Sacramento. We’re out of the Bayarrhea, but just barely. One hour from Jeff, Scott, Jimmy, and Curt in Roseville! Two hours from Truckee! Two hours from the cabin in Strawberry! 100 minutes from Jimmy’s ranch in Elk Creek! And we’re a little over an hour from Yuba City!

I’m so excited! I wish we were moving tomorrow, but we have to wait another two weeks. Leisure Town… that’s so damn cool… love that name.

Ahhhh… I can barely contain my excitement =)
