Lake Tahoe With My Parents

My parents planned a road trip to the coast and wanted to stop at our place on the way home. We told them that we should go stay in Tahoe because they have never experienced a summer day there. Plans were set and we were on our way; just in time to skip some of the heat.

We left early enough that we should have been able to get there before my parents and get things set up. However, our tires had other plans. I had informed Abe that my tires had 90k miles on them and we should be replacing them. His response was that there was still plenty of tread left on them. 

In Carson our low tire pressure light came on at the stop light. I stuck my head out the window . . .flat tire. We pulled into the shade. We had a wear hole and tried to pump our tire up in hopes to get to a tire shop. The hole was too large. We changed the tire and I suggested we drop off the tire to have it repaired and pick it up on the way home. Abe said, "No, We'll be fine."

We made it to Tahoe a little late, but we still were able to enjoy some dinner and games before heading to bed.

The next day we spent at the lake. It was so gorgeous and the water was much warmer than I have experienced at Tahoe. I snorkel, Crew kayaked, Abe swam, Sawyer swam, and then Sawyer took over my snorkel. My parents kayaked, floated, and enjoyed the water with us. Perfect day!

The next morning was spent cleaning up the house, doing laundry, and going on a little hike with the boys, Abe and I, and Grandpa. We found some amazing views!

On the way home we had In-N-Out. Yum! About 45 minutes from home Abe pulled over saying the car had been acting a little squirrely for the last few miles. Sure enough, the other back tire had a wear hole in it. We pumped as much air into it as we could until the pump shut off, and zoomed off. We made it about 10 minutes, pulled over and repeat. We did that twice. We limped into town to the tire center and they patched the hole and filled our tire. Although it was still leaking. Another adventure in the books with tires on the list of things to purchase!
