A Day At The Beach!

It was some sort of miracle that we all had the day off today! I texted our friends about going to Tahoe for a beach day and everyone was able to go. I was so excited! Our schedules have been so busy we haven’t been able to go at all this summer.

We took a trip to the supermarket the night before to stock up on beer and snacks to bring with us. Standing in the beer aisle for 20 minutes as a couple of the guys debated on what type of beer to buy (and they say that women are indecisive…) we ended up buying a few different types to make everyone happy.  Our friends also wanted to purchase some floating tubes so we could float out on the lake.  Apparently, once the back to school section hits the store, it is very hard to find a floating tube. The choices consisted of one person tubes that were $40, and a rectangular floater that is meant to put your cooler on for $4. One friend opted for the fancy tube, and our other friend decided to buy the $4 one to float in and take his chances (honestly, it worked perfectly for $4!)

We left Reno about 9 a.m., thinking that getting to the beach around 10 would be perfect. As it turns out the early bird catches the worm when it comes to space on the beach, so we had to drive for an extra 45 minutes just trying to find a parking spot where we could hike down to the water! We found some space to park our cars near Kings Beach. When we got to the beach, we were able to find a patch of sand to set up camp for the day. We started with some lunch and snacks (Shout out to Andrew for being the real MVP of the day and bringing along some amazing Hershey’s products!!). After we were no longer hangry, we blew up all of our floating tubes and hit the water! We tied all of our tubes together and hung out on the lake until we started to get sunburn. It was so much fun.

I am so happy I was able to spend some great quality time together with some wonderful friends. I bid you farewell for the night, I hope you also had a wonderful Sunday!
