Our Memorial Day Weekend...
I recently read a book in which the author chose Memorial Day as the annual family reunion weekend. It fits the bill "because it lacks ritual and presents no divided loyalties with the in-laws". While I invited the in-laws to join us (they couldn't get away), I like the idea of this as a traditional weekend of togetherness.
Brenton and Christy took an extra day off from work and Kegan spent Thursday night with them. At 4 AM Friday, they headed out together and arrived in Tahoe in time for breakfast, just before a day of snow flurries. What a great introduction to our new hometown for all of them, especially Christy who was new to Tahoe.
For three days, we enjoyed the family time and delighted in sharing the area with them all. There was a great deal of fireside time, relaxing with gaming, reading and just hanging out. We did a variety of activities from celebrating Christy's #25 to going to a local casino's sports bar for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's big fight to hiking down to Emerald Bay and seeing Vikingsholm Castle.
What a wonderful weekend. Tahoe now feels like home.
