Tahoe

Jan 24, 2026, by Ryan

My family went to Lake Tahoe in December. When we were there, it was just raining cats and dogs. It took 8 to 12 hours to go to Lake Tahoe. That night, I hoped the snow would come down from the sky.

On the second day of Lake Tahoe, it was still raining outside. My parents decided to look around the resort. The resort was really big. It is about 6000 acres. After we looked around the resort, we came back to the hotel . We relaxed on a cozy couch and then slept.

The next day while I was eating my delicious breakfast, the snow was raining down. Right after I ate my breakfast, my family went outside and headed to the gondola. We rode the gondola to the summit. 15 minutes later, we went out to the snowfield. I had my first snowman, and I had a snow fight with my dad. Also, I rolled down the hill. After playing in the snow, my family came back to the hotel and rested.

On the last day of Tahoe, we went to the hot tub and relaxed. Also, there is a pool where we can do a polar bear plunge. When I got inside, it was so cold that I literally freaked out and jumped back into the hot tub. 1 hour later we went to the arcade. We played the game until it was 9 p.m. my mom said to go to sleep early because we had to leave at 7 a.m.

In my opinion this vacation was the best, and I want to visit Lake Tahoe next December or January.

Lake Tahoe

Places to go: Heavenly Village, Zephyr Cove, Ski resort (Mt. Rose was cheapest, and good for beginners like me), Emerald Bay Beach, Cave Rock, etc.

Lake Tahoe was a very amazing and fun place to go. There was a lot of snow. I and my family built snowmen, skied, and sledded. It took us quite a while to go up there because after we went to Big Bear, we had to drive way up to my sister, and then we had to go to Lake Tahoe, so then it took us an extra two hours from Davis, but it was worth it to get to meet my sister (actually, we picked her). We saw amazing views at Lake Tahoe, it was spectacular. I recommend going there.

Yosemite

It was about a 15-hour drive to Yosemite, and there were lots of dead trees, but the view was nice. Also on the way to Yosemite we picked up my sister at UC Davis. Then we met the guy whose shop was called Chines Camp Shop or whatever. I bought one thing, which showed a lot of germs. There is snow at Yosemite. We went to our cabin located at West Yosemite. My sister and I built a snowman frost.
