Birthday surprises

About two weeks ago, Jason's parents called me and asked if I'd like to be flown out to surprise him at his uncle's house in Reno, NV. He's on a 6-8 week roadtrip around the country and has been out west for three weeks working on his uncle's seed farm. I, of course, completely agreed and thus flew out last Friday for a weekend full of camping, hiking, lake-going and general all-round fun.

And here go the pictures.

The view from their house

We stopped on the drive to our campsite thinking this would be the best view we'd get

And then we decided to hike to the top of a mountain (9,700 ft high). Beware of the large amount of mountain top pictures to follow.

And the view from the bottom of the mountain.

And then we went to Lake Tahoe Sunday afternoon to try and comprehend how a beach, lake and mountains can all be in one place at once.
