South Shore

We had a great time in Tahoe with our friends Herbie, Grace, Kaitlyn and Johanna. They invited us to use their timeshare's bonus week and we gladly took them up on their offer! We stayed at the Tahoe Season's Resort many, many years ago when we had attended the CBM Career Retreat there.

The weather was perfect and the girls got to swim everyday. One of our favorite activities was playing in the arcade at Harrah's and Harvey's. The concierge at the timeshare had coupons for free tokens and we made good use of them. The girls played games to win tickets which they got to redeem for prizes. One of our favorite games was Fishin' Time. I almost got addicted to that game. Once I got about 175 tickets from one game! John played a different game and got the bonus for 176 tickets. One afternoon, we went to a small amusement park nearby.

Another day we played at the beach. The girls went swimming and also carved a big hole in the sand.
Other days we just walked downtown and went to the bookstore or to get sandwiches. The girls found lots of bears around town and loved taking pictures with them.

The timeshare had a raffle one morning and we won a free sunset dinner cruise and Herbie and Grace won a free dinner at the seafood buffet as well as a voucher for 2 for 1 horseback riding. So we took turns babysitting for each other so that each couple had a date night.

We had such a relaxing time in Tahoe that we almost bought a timeshare at the Marriott's Timber Lodge! It was gorgeous! But we regained our senses and walked away with our $100 incentive and had a great dinner at Tep's Villa Roma Restaurant.

Then again, John and I both agreed that if we ever DID buy a timeshare, we'd want to do it through a hotel chain like the Marriott, so.......
