The first day I got there, we rode the gondola at Heavenly ski resort.
The view was so beautiful from the viewing point on the Gondola.
Then, we took this chairlift up to the top of the mountain.
We saw these really cool crop circles.
The next day we went on a paddle boat cruise out to Emerald Bay. Emerald Bay is the second most photographed place in the United States. The first is Niagera Falls. The water is so beautiful.
Coming in to Emerald Bay. The water gets more of a greenish color in the bay...hence the name, Emerald Bay.
There is a big Osprey nest in the dead tree towards the left of this picture.
That night we went to an Abba show at Harrah's. They were an Abba impersonation band. It was really good and very entertaining. We learned that Abba has sold the most records next to the Beatles & Elvis. I didn't know they were that far up there. I didn't get any pictures at the show, but my mom did. She posted them on her blog.
The next day we hiked about 1.5 miles into Emerald Bay to Vikingsholm. It's this large mansion that was built as a summer home by Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight in 1929.
I loved her china.
She also had a little tea house build on the little island in the middle of Emerald Bay.
The hike in was gorgeous. Here we are at the top.
We saw this bluejay on our hike. I got him just as he was flying away.
Ashley and I hiking up to Eagle falls too.
We had such a great time. Thanks mom and day for everything!
