Last night after work (Thursday), Ash and I drove up to our friends Derek and Jenny’s cabin in South Lake Tahoe. It took us 10 hours with traffic to get here, and we arrived around 5am. Since I love roadtrips, it felt like 4 hours. Time passes quickly when you travel with good friends. And finally, a cool evening compared to the heat in Southern California
We woke up this morning and went out on the boat to the middle of the lake. We turned the motor off and just lay back and napped. It was perfect! So quiet, and the sun was just warm enough. We did some inner tubing before heading back to the dock. It was around 5pm.

Right now, everyone is asleep in the cabin, taking power naps before the partying starts (our parties are the type you have to prepare for, physically and mentally). I couldn’t just sleep away the dusk, so I walked down to the water (about 200 yds) and now I’m sitting in the (closed) coffee shop, enjoying the view:
