Ackermann Family Newsletter: March- Jeremy & Karalee

Jeremy and I went on a trip for Jeremy's Spring Break. We drove to South Lake Tahoe, California. We left on Saturday the 8th and came back Wednesday the 13th. It is so beautiful there! On Sunday we relaxed, took naps and went in the hot tub. Monday we spent the day in town shopping, eating, and sight seeing. We went to Emerald Bay which is part of the lake and did some hiking. There were two waterfalls nearby that we hiked to. We couldn't do too much hiking since most of the mountains were still covered in snow. In fact, they had a snow storm the night before. However, all the snow in the lower elevations melted in an hour. Anyways, after our hiking, we took highway 50 which goes all the way around the lake. We stayed on that road for a few miles to see different views of the lake and then went back to our hotel.

Tuesday, Jeremy got up early and went snowboarding. I decided to stay and have a spa day. I got a massage, relaxed, and went hot tubing. It felt so great! That night we went to a restaurant called the Red Hut. They specialize in waffles so it was fun to get breakfast for dinner. Then on Wednesday we did some more shopping and then drove all the way home... the whole 8 1/2 hours. The drive home wasn't as bad as the way there even though the way there we split and drove half on Saturday and half on Sunday. We took Mom's collection of Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites series and listened to the first 2 books. It passed the time. The funny part is Jeremy wasn't excited to listen to the books because he isn't into those kinds of books. I begged him to just try and now he loves them and can't wait to come home and listen to the books together in our free time. They are adventurous books that were written well, that's all I have to say.

Now we are back to real life with work, school and lots of homework. We are already planning our next get away!
