Squaw Valley & Northstar at Tahoe Vacation

Oh yes! We spent the last eight days and seven nights in two beautiful locations. We headed out on July 10th (my birthday) and enjoyed three nights at The Village at Squaw Valley. Our condo was beautiful, functional and quite reasonably priced. While at Squaw we attended "Yappy Hour" where all proceeds from the wine are donated to the local Humane Society. Pete and I figured since it was for a good cause, then we should do our part and consume a little wine. I enjoyed an hour-long massage at Trilogy Spa that Pete and Jackson purchased for my birthday, and we all had a blast walking around the Village, eating great food, playing miniature golf, hiking and relaxing in the fresh mid-70 degree weather...

After our fabulous vacation at Squaw, we loaded up and headed to the Tahoe City lake for a few hours. Jackson enjoyed throwing rocks in the water and a picnic lunch in the shade. This was a great afternoon and good time-killer until we could check-in at Northstar.

Once we made it to The Village at Northstar we knew we would have a blast for the next four days. Our condo was BEAUTIFUL, spacious and close to everything in the Village. Jackson absolutely loved the sandboxes, swimming, running, playing chess with pieces that were as big as him and enjoying the free movie night from our balcony.

Pete and I have vacationed several times in Tahoe and feel that both Villages are the way to go from now on. We can't wait to go back!
