Lake Tahoe

We went to Lake Tahoe for my birthday/our anniversary trip this year.

We stayed in Reno the first night
Then it was on to Lake Tahoe
Emerald Bay was one of the highlights
Emerald Bay
Lower Eagle Falls
Vikingsholm-A home that was built in 1929 by a woman from Europe.  It was built on Emerald Bay and was her summer home.
Front door-seemed rather short
The courtyard where all the servants quarters were
The back of the house faced the lake
the view of the bay from the back of the house

The woman had the little house built on the island so she could row out with friends and have tea
