We spent last weekend staying at the Marriott Grand Residence at Lake Tahoe with our son, our grandson, and our granddaughter. Our suite with one king bedroom, a double queen bedroom, and a living room with window seats that could be turned into beds was more than adequate. The three full bathrooms also added to our comfort. With a full, well-equipped kitchen, we ate breakfast in every morning and the rest of our meals out. One especially good meal was dinner at Scusa, a fine Italian restaurant where the waitress catered to us with friendliness and efficiency.
Our granddaughter spent most of her time in the large swimming pool, and we and our grandson loved the gondola ride up the mountain slopes behind our hotel. The views were breathtaking, and even the meal at Tamarack Lodge at the top of the mountain was pretty good. But for us the best part of the trip was riding our Dahon bikes with our grandson to see the glorious mountain and lake scenery. Because the seats on Dahons are adjustable, our grandson could easily ride one of my bikes. We set off each morning to see a different area and returned tired but happily chatting about our adventures. I will be putting up a complete blog about each trip as soon as I get around to it with videos, which we are always working to improve.
