This weekend we joined a bunch of our San Francisco friends up in Tahoe. Tahoe is about 3 hours (without traffic) northeast of San Francisco. One of our friends had a cabin where most of the crew stayed, but we rented a condo to give Maile a little more peace and quiet.
We actually had to cut our trip a little short – a big storm is headed towards Tahoe and we felt it best to leave while the going was good. And even though getting home turned into a bit of an ordeal, we had a great time. The highlight was definitely introducing Maile to snow for the first time (although Maile might beg to differ). I think its safe to say the “Hawaii” runs strong in Maile girl – for that matter, its starting to run pretty strong in daddy too – it was cold up there!
Maile was great the whole weekend, entertaining all of our friends and reserving her tears for when she was alone with mommy and daddy. Now that she is 6 months, Maile really is quite fun to be around and she absolutely loves being around other people – although if she gets too worked up during the day, she sometimes has trouble getting to sleep at night.
Here are some pictures from the weekend…
Mommy showed Maile where Tahoe City was on the map so she could get her bearings...
First things first, Maile laid claim to the big bed - conveniently themed to match her bear outfit...
In preparation for the cold weather, Maile tried on some new head gear...

Umm ... when do we go back to Hawaii?
Okay, fair enough, when we do it like this it is quite fun!
