Weekending in Tahoe

August 26, 2015 by Hillary 10 Comments

If you follow on Instagram, you may have seen that P and I were in Tahoe for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. We camped for two nights in South Lake Tahoe at The Campground by the Lake (which could be considered urban camping to some, smothered between the tourist town attractions on Highway 50).

We roasted vegan marshmallows – to smoosh between classic Honey Maid grahams and chunk of 72% dark chocolate – sitting on a log by the campfire (because somehow we forgot the chairs!); took a carefully slow drive along narrow Highway 89 as to not hit the courageously strong triathletes cycling up the mountain road; swiftly kayaked around Meek’s Bay; and enjoyed a picnic lunch at Sugar Pine Point State Park — all the while admiring Lake Tahoe’s infamous crystal clear, cool blue water (what’s left of it anyway — the drought is terribly concerning).

We finished off the week, Sunday night, with an outdoor concert at Harvey’s – Dierks Bentley (including Kip Moore, Canaan Smith, Maddie & Tae). #soundsofsummer

I am determined to go back to Lake Tahoe once per summer – to hike, to SUP, to swim, to kayak…

    It looks like the best weekend ever! It’s funny because you, Sarah (Making Thyme), and I were all in Tahoe this weekend! Well, I was in Truckee, but close enough. It was such a gorgeous weekend. I am so jealous you got to see Dierks!

      Didn’t you used to live in Truckee? I know, Sarah and I ate at the same restaurant (Sprouts) – small world!

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
