Vintage Gondola

Vintage postcard of Vail Gondola

I just bought myself some Swedish clogs at this quaint place in Vail during my lunchbreak. They'll keep my feet warm on the job during winter. Vail has a real Scandanavian flair which makes me feel like I'm getting in touch with my roots, being Norwegian and all. Dave is Swedish, so we might just go completely Scandanavian for a while. Don't be surprised if you see me in briads and long, stripey pink socks with clogs and I try to serve you smoked salmon with capers on a bagel and start baking luscious pastries. High five to all the Norwegians and Swedes out there.

A bit of Heaven

Dave and I just got back from an amazing week at Stanford Alumni Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake in Tahoe - I've been going there since I was 2 yrs old and now we use the week as a family reunion. Check out the Tahoe photo set.

We hiked Tellac which gives an amazing 360 view of Desolation Wilderness and Lake Tahoe. Luckily I live at 9,000 ft in Colorado so it wasn't too tough coming home because I have inviting mountains all around me and didn't come home to concrete and traffic and the density of a city but I do love Tahoe and wouldn't turn down a house there if someone offered me one.
