I decided not to hit the slopes today, body still sore from yesterday. So instead, I’m at the bar in the Heavenly ski lounge watching the Patriots/Chargers game. Much to my surprise, there is a heavy Patriots presence in the room. To my right, is a couple from Boston, quietly rooting for their team. In front of me (at the bar), are the rowdier fans, yelling and screaming at every Patriot first down in between gulps of beer. I figured this would be a good time to recap some highlights of the trip for me:

- popping my In-N-Out cherry and quickly pounding down a ‘double double animal style’ (two all beef patties, secret sauce, onions and melted cheese)
- Alcatraz!
- Keeping Alice, Cynthia and Brian up the first night with my snoring
- Finally learning how to turn left with my snowboard
- Drinking PBR Light in the hot tub after snowboarding and at 8am the next morning

We’re leaving Tahoe and heading back to San Fran later tonight, one more day left before heading back to NYC. Tomorrow’s itinerary:

- getting a 3x3 at In-N-Out to start the day (3 beef patties, 3 slices of cheese)
- head to Oakland for the Warriors game
- get Hyphy
- ghost riding our powder blue Toyota Highlander rental
- visiting the ‘Full House’ house (Yeah,.. so!?!)

Alright, gonna grab a few drinks at the bar and watch the rest of the game. Check y’all later.
