Andy visits Tahoe Yergensens



Last week I flew into Sacramento to spend a few days with Chris, Val, Lief and Liv. They picked me up at the airport and took me back to their home in Eldorado Hills. This was my first visit since they moved up to NorCal 5 years ago. I know, I am a bad brother.

I was only with them for 3 and a half days, but we crammed lots of fun into that short amount of time, and saw lots of cool things.

I think they had a fun time showing me around their community, where Chris teaches school, their house they are renting, the park, the library they go to, and tumble time.

My favorite time was seeing and playing the Empire Ranch Golf Course and Lake Tahoe, but I had lots of fun walking to the park with all of them and kicking the soccer ball around with Leafy and Chris, and swimming at Mont Bleu in Tahoe too.

Both Lief (Age 3) and Liv (Age 15 months) travel real well. The first day we were in the van for about an hour or two, but the next day we drove for about 4 -5 hours. I was also impressed by how well they listen and behave. Obviously Chris and Val are doing a great job.

On our trip to Tahoe...they took me by their house they rent out in Pollock Pines, and they showed me the golf course near their. It was Applesomething or other. What a beautiful course. I will definitely have to play there next time. After a stop for a subway we were off to Tahoe.

Chris took the long way, and although I was anxious to get to Tahoe for the gambling and swimming pool, I was glad they took me to the Rainbow Trail and to see the Emerald Bay part of Tahoe.

Here is Chris and Val at the start of the Hike.
Here is the view from the stream profile chamber


On the last day I was there before they took me to th airport, we went to Empire Ranch Golf Course Driving Range. I wanted to see Lief hit the golf ball.

Here is a video I took.

Anyway, it was a fun trip and really cool to see Lief and meet Liv for the first time.
Oh, I almost forgot... I bought Holly two pairs of shoes from the Pearl Izumi Outlet in Tahoe, that was a little bonus!
