Road Trip : Graeagle

After Salt Lake, we headed towards Lake Tahoe. Andy's grandparents spend the summer in Graeagle, which is about an hour outside of Tahoe. Andy's mom was going to be up there at the same time, so it was the perfect addition to our road trip. 

Dopo Salt Lake siamo andati verso Lake Tahoe. I nonni di Andy passano l'estate vicino a Lake Tahoe in un paese che si chiama Graeagle. La mamma di Andy c'era anche lei allora era perfetto. 

We stayed at Nakoma Resort and I would go back there tomorrow. It was the most beautiful place and so relaxing. 

Siamo stati a Nakoma Resort e io ci tornerei domani. Era un posto molto bello e rilassante. 

We were so close to so many great hikes, so each day we did something different. 

Eravamo molto vicini a tante camminate allora ogni giorno ne abbiamo fatto una diversa. 

Sardine Lake

On our way back to San Diego, we drove by Lake Tahoe. I had never been so it was fun to see the pretty blue lake. There were SO many people though - I was glad we just drove through. 

Per tornare a San Diego, siamo passati da Lake Tahoe. Io non c'ero mai stata allora era bello vedere il lago blu. C'era tanta gente, allora ero contenta che ci siamo solo passati in macchina.

Gus was such a trooper in the car!

Road Trip : Camping and SLC

Way back when, Andy took a week off of work and we went on a road trip up to Salt Lake and then over to Graeagle. We started by camping one night in Southern Utah.

Tanto tempo fa, Andy si e' preso una settimana di ferie e siamo andati in macchina a Salt Lake City e poi a Graeagle (vicino a Lake Tahoe). La prima sera, siamo andati in campeggio.

We had the most perfect camp site - super big and FAR away from anyone else. We would have stayed a second night, but the campsites that were available were not great. Our view was right on Panguitch Lake. Even though it was pretty warm during the day, it cooled down a TON at night. 

Avevamo un posto perfetto - molto grande e lontani da tutti l'altri. Ci volevamo stare un'altra sera, pero' non c'era un posto che ci piacesse. Eravamo di fianco a un lago. C'era un po' caldo durante il giorno, ma a la sera e' venuto bel fresco.

The next morning, we headed out to do some hiking. Simone had recommended Tropic Reservoir, so we headed there. On the way, we drove through the most beautiful Park. 

La prossima mattina, siamo andati a fare una camminata. Simone aveva detto che Tropic Reservoir era molto bello da vedere allora siamo andati la. Su la strada, c'era una cosa piu' bella dell'altra.

We even got to experience a flash storm. Us Southern Californians were very confused by what was happening. 

E' anche piovuto! Due gocce! Eravamo molto perplessi noi di California. 

We were able to bring Gus on almost all of our hikes. We bought him this cooling vest and it worked really well. 

Gus e' venuto su quasi tutte le nostre camminate. Gli abbiamo preso un giubotto rinfrescante ed e funzionato bene. 

After camping, we headed up to Salt Lake to spend some time with the family. We didn't do too much, but Andy and my dad were able to go fly fishing and even caught some fish! 

Dopo lo Southern Utah, siamo andati a Salt Lake per passare del tempo con I miei. Non abbiamo fatto molto, pero' Andy e il papa' sono andate a pescare. Hanno anche abboccato!
