Lunch at Garwoods

-


Dining at Gar Woods Grill and Pier in Carnelian Bay is a must when in Lake Tahoe.


They offer free valet boat parking for those fortunate to have a boat.




 They offer lakefront dining out on their beautiful deck.

 




I think most people come for the world famous "Wet Woody".


We headed here for lunch after the parade in Truckee.


Not wanting to wait an hour for the deck,


we opted to go upstairs where we were seated near the window.

  
 I ordered steamed clams which were delish!

  
Check out our birds eye views!






After lunch we took a stroll on the pier,


just in time to wave good-bye to a fellow vacationer whose tee-shirt said, "I Love Hot Moms"!  


As he pulled away I yelled out, "check out my blog La Dolfina... you'll be on it!"


This lovely spot represents quintessential Tahoe to me!


 Have you booked your trip yet?

Hi Terri, thank you for your comment. Of course I know Garret, and Sandy, and several others that you probably know. One I'd these days I do want to meet you in person, also your mother. She sounds so sweet! We are going out of town for a month so we will not be selling at Alameda in August. Maybe sometime after that we will meet. I have been following your blog for over a year. I enjoy reading it. I love your name Terri. I go by Terry, although my given name is Theresa.

This is definitely one of our hot spots! This year lake level is high, almost to the legal limit. And not only is the water clear, but it is cool and refreshing. I took a dip this morning after an early row out and around Crystal Bay Point. Looking forward to having you visit our home and pier!

Terri, I haven't stopped in Tahoe for years. We have passed through heading up to Carson to visit family but have missed all the charming things that there are to do there. I am an ocean girl but I do think Tahoe is one of the most beautiful bodies of water around and a great place to take a vacation. Looks like you enJOYed yourself to the fullest. ~ Jacque

Looks like you are having a great time! It's been pretty warm here so that water looks so clear and refreshing...and I'm sure it's quite chilly. The T-shirt is too funny!
It's going to be hard for you to leave but have a great trip home.

This looks like heaven indeed! I have spent a lot of time in the Bay Area, but never made it to Tahoe. You make a very convincing case! xx

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
