MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: FEBRUARY 27–MARCH 5, 2017! (PART 2)
This is part 2, read part 1 here.

Starting the week in Vegas at the Neon Museum, ending the week in a snowstorm in Tahoe. A week of late work nights and early mornings that was worth it, saw friends from high school, built snow-people, overcame a mountain storm, and more.

Enjoy!

Morning!

Her cute ass herb garden

Uke morning wake up

Rachel let us do a crossword in her book, so we spent the morning doing a “Tuesday” puzzle. Honestly…was a blast.

Gettin’ ready!

My socks and shoes matched Rachel’s rug

Bought some important supplies for the weekend in the snow

Waitin’ to be picked up by Rachel and her boyf

I rented some gear, and then we all packed up the car. The four of us fit plus all our snowboard and ski stuff, and luggage…

Stu hooked it up with a scratch off at our first stop (Tahoe is 4 hours drive from San Francisco)

We made it to our friend’s mom’s house late on Friday night, so we basically set up all the beds and went to bed.

Woke up really early, ate quickly, and got in the car to drive over to the mountain

Lake Tahoe!

Bundled up for the snow!

Looks gross, but the hot dog in the french roll…A+ ski food

Gabby and I were really the only beginners

Northstar Resort

After doing the smaller runs with Gabby for a few hours, we decided to find some drinks. Our legs were exhausted.

Straws to the eyes

Shared fish ‘n chips

Got back to the house around 5:30pm

Games and beer

Ordered a pizza (I added some hot cheetos why not)

Caught up with old friends 🙂

We woke up to SNOW

Leggo my eggo

Had a snowball fight in the front yard

Tiny snowmen

Snowman is pretty lumpy cuz the snow wasn’t sticking together too too well, but hey it works

Sassy snow-woman

Reunion!

We knew the roads would be bad, so we decided to leave earlier than we intended to make sure we made our 9pm flight.

Said our goodbyes and hit the road around 11am

Stopped to get lunch a little bakery

Shared a sandwich and salad with Zeen

Snow chains time

Then it got bad.

Roads closed. We had to turn around several time. Major accidents caused more closures. People were just freaking out in this storm and everybody trying to leave the mountain was stuck.

One 3 mile stretch took us 7 hours to cross. That’s not an exaggeration.

At the time, we had a crossword, we had snacks, we were just having fun and talking with each other.

But it was getting dark. Even though we had given ourselves 10 hours to get back from Tahoe…we knew we wouldn’t make the flight. So we had to call and cancel and rebook for the morning.

We finally got through that pass that took 7 hours to conquer and had to PEE really badly. The first thing we saw?

Unfortunately this was MANY people’s idea

40 minute bathroom line, but it was our only option before continuing down the mountain

Finally made it off the mountain around 9pm and stopped for In N Out

And around midnight we were back to Rachel’s apartment. Thankfully Rachel had us another night…but damn. 11 hours. Shoutout to Stu and Rachel who took turns driving throughout that madness.

Much love friends.
