The last week in January, my parents invited us to tag along with them to Reno, NV to the Safari Club International Show. My brother is an avid hunter and wanted to go to this convention to see all of the vendors. We readily jumped on board and even talked them into staying a few extra days so JD & I could ski in Lake Tahoe. This was the first trip back to Tahoe since our wedding there 3 1/2 years ago. It was so magical to see the sights and reminisce about the day we became united in marriage. Here is a picture of us at the place we got married. In the summer time there is a large deck, but it's obviously covered in snow.
Our trip wasn't without its share of unexpected turbulence. Anna Kate started running fever the night before we left and it continued 5 of the 7 days of our trip. Will started acting a little congested, so we ended up taking both of them to Tahoe Urgent Care to get checked out. We discovered 3 of their 4 ears were infected, both throats were red, both had runny noses. So a round of antibiotics later, they are better.
One of my Dad's friends also joined us on the trip. On the second morning of our trip, Mr. Adams woke up with chest pains & was brought to the hospital. It was discovered he probaly got food poisoning & he ended up being med-evac'ed back to Houston.
My brother, Mom & another guy on the trip also came down with varying illnesses while on the trip. So health was not in our favor for the vacation. However, everyone is well now & we were still blessed with a wonderful vacation. JD & I had a wonderful time skiing, just the two of us. We hadn't had a chance to spend that much time together without kids, to have great conversation. I will cherish the moments we spent sipping hot chocolate, gazing at the beautiful lake, watching the snow fall and enjoying each others company. Great times!
