Earlier in the month, we took a mini family vacation to the Lake Tahoe area. It was our first foray of the season into winter temperatures which felt crisp, cool, and fun! Despite the lack of snow to play in, we did find some ways to enjoy the outdoors, sans powder.

We decided to have a fun outside play day! Despite the 40 degree temps, we spent time at King’s Beach on Lake Tahoe. We took a walk along the beach, enjoyed the view from the pier, and then found some rocks to play on. A pile of rocks, plus my kids, equaled an hour of fun! My husband and I even joined in and climbed the rocks. It is amazing how a few boulders can create a fun time.

We took these pictures throughout the day as we enjoyed King’s Beach, followed by lunch at Jake’s on the Beach. After lunch we rested at the cabin and then headed to downtown Truckee where we walked around. The kids found an outdoor, giant chess set where my son and middle daughter engaged in a fierce game of chess. When my son’s Queen was compromised, the game got really tense and we had to speed the kids up! You know how siblings can get in times of competition! Yikes! Sooooo. . .on that note, we headed over to Jax Truckee Diner where I enjoyed lobster and crab macaroni and cheese (oh yes, it was fabulous and worth every calorie!). All of us enjoyed our food, it was a fun night!

This warm and cozy, faux fur jacket was perfect throughout the day. It was really comfortable to wear, and kept me warm. It was also easy to climb rocks in! Imagine that! haha If you are looking for a fun and cozy jacket this winter season, definitely check it out, on sale, online here.
