Today was all about the beach! We headed off early to Pope Beach which is close to our campground. It was our first close glimpse of Tahoe and seeing it up close is gorgeous! The water is crystal blue and the pine trees are almost to the shoreline but there are still sandy beaches. It is safe for the kids too since there are no currents or waves…well small waves from the boats. So, we parked our stuff and there we stayed for 5 hours (I literally had to drag the girls out of the water when it was time to leave!). It was a wonderfully warm day, about 78 degrees and sunny. We were the first ones on the beach but it got crowded quickly. The kids floated around in their inner tubes, built sand castles and buried each other. We had our picnic lunch and just enjoyed the relaxation. After the beach, we came back to camp and went on a bike ride…they have great bike paths here. We went to Camp Richardson which is a big hotel and campground. We stopped in the general store and then went to get ice cream at this great old fashioned ice cream parlor. It was so good! I am so done with ice cream though, we have had enough to last us the rest of the summer and all of next summer too! We also took a walk back on the beach and checked out the marina and all of the private homes on the water…dreaming of one day having a Tahoe summer home! Then it was back to camp for dinner and a movie in the trailer. The sun took it all out of us so we stayed inside tonight. Tahoe is gorgeous and we love it here!
