Tuesday the 20th

Day 6

Tuesday, July 20th:

Before we made the trek to Lake Tahoe (one of our favorite destinations), we had to stop by the Kaiser facility in San Francisco proper to pick up Anthony’s meds. Well, I was already a bit worried about driving the streets of San Francisco in the motorhome, especially loaded down with water, full tank of gas, my motorcycle on the front, and everything else. Wow, this was going to be interesting. Luckily, Geary was not one of those crazy steep streets you see in Frisco, but man was it crowded. I mean we were right in the middle of the city.

I dropped Heidi off in front and decided to take a chance and park in the loading zone out front. There were a million signs telling you that you cannot park there. I figured “It will only take a few minutes, if someone pulls up, I can take off, right?” WRONG! It took her over an hour waiting inside to get the prescription that was called in the night before!!! Man, I do not want to get sick in San Francisco. This was one of the most stressful hours of my life, waiting, wondering if the parking Nazis were going to come around the corner any minute. People honking their horn and swearing at me as we sat and waited for Heidi to come out. Well, no ticket and she got the meds and we were on our way.

The drive up to Tahoe was OK. I don’t particularly care for the 50, it is a long, long climb, although it is scenic. Once we arrived at our campground, Campground by the Lake, we set up and took a walk down to the water. This campground was really nice, especially since it was so close to the lake. Dry camping only, as the hook up spots were taken. The campground was full, and there were some “interesting people” there to say the least.

We walked to the water and believe it or not it was warm enough to swim in. I don’t ever remember Lake Tahoe being warm enough to swim, but it was so nice. The kids loved it since they could actually walk out into the water a good ¼ mile before it started to get deep. Plus there were little “waves” that the boys could try to body surf. Lauren was sun bathing and decided she just did not want to get in the water. (Spoiled). :)

That evening we had Heidi’s famous Orange Chicken for dinner….OK its Trader Joes, but it is damn good and Heidi has to heat it up. :) Played some games and went to bed.
