I started baking on Wednesday, taking advantage of the lack of class to make a pecan pie, broccoli casserole, and some butterscotch chip cookies. I picked up Sam from the airport that evening, and on Thursday morning we headed across the state to join my brother in Tahoe. We got stuck in traffic, but that didn't stop us from enjoying our delicious meal with way too much food.
Elan took care of the turkey and stuffing, and we made some gravy and sweet potatoes and yams when we got there.
Then on Friday, Sam and I went skiing. Heavenly must be one of the most beautiful places I've ever skied. Amazing.
We were supposed to head back to Palo Alto on Saturday, but got delayed by a huge snowstorm, so we stayed an extra day. Sadly, I spent most of the time doing homework. This of course also meant even more crowds leaving the South Lake Tahoe this morning - it took us around 2 hrs to reach the next town. But at least we got to enjoy some amazing views while sitting on Hwy. 50.
I have tons more photos, but also tons of work, so they'll probably just get put up in a gallery over winter break (less than 2 weeks!).
Update: I just had to turn up the heat in the car to get the frost off the winshield. In Palo Alto!
