Tomorrow, the wife and I, the mother-in-law, and two nieces and one nephew are headed to our timeshare property at the Embassy Resort, Lake Tahoe.
We will be there for a week, until Friday the 9th, and there is going to be PLENTY of snow! It's storming here pretty heavy right now, and the only hassle is see is getting through the mountains (bring on the chains, LOL!)

It's pretty luxurious, they have an indoor/outdoor pool that is open all year around (they say swimming amongst all the snow is beautiful), and the outdoor and indoor pool are connected by a tunnel that you swim through, and they offer huge discounts to owners on Heavenly Valley Ski packages, casino packages, resturants, etc. Heavenly just opened (this season) a brand new 'winter park' ...
Neither my wife or I ski (but love the casino's) ... and it should be a lot of fun for the teenagers, and since we don't see much snow where we all live, it should be a lot of fun ...
... and a nice way to start out the new year!
