Keep Tahoe Blue – Drink Tahoe Brew
July 1, 2006
Just back last night after 6 days at Lake Tahoe. What a great vacation. Barb and I stayed at Embassy Suites, right next to Heavenly Village and Harrah’s Casino. We were on the top (9th) floor in a “deluxe suite” while the girls (Kelly, Kate and Kate’s bud Rebecca) were across the street at our timeshare unit at the Stardust. Worked out perfectly! 
Gave us some privacy (in upscale digs) and the girls some room to stretch out a bit without the parents hanging around all the time. The plan for this vacation was to take it easy, have some serious downtime, read, relax and rejuvenate. We did all this! When we checked into our room we found that the Champagne Crew had sent up a bottle of wine and fruit and cheese tray for Barb’s birthday! What a great surprise. We toasted to Barb and our vacation. Sipped wine and ate some cheese and crackers and great melon and berries. That was our dinner the first night in town. 
The day after we arrived was Barb’s birthday. I had scheduled a two hour “head to toe” massage for the birthday girl at a day spa right next door at Heavenly Village. She must have liked it cuz she looked pretty relaxed and said she felt like a wet noodle afterwards. 
After a brief post massage nap, we were up, dressed and off to dinner at Cierra, the upscale eatery at the new MONT BLEU (old Ceasar’s). Although our food was good, it was very pricey and not as advertised on their website. The reason I picked this place was because they advertised a wide variety of vegetarian cuisine and even some vegan dishes. This was not true. Kate ended up having Mac and Cheese. Either way, it was all good. Happy Birthday Barbie!!
