at the beginning of winter break, my family and kelvin took a trip to lake tahoe. we stayed at wally’s hot springs resort in genoa, nv. despite feeling like a popsicle the entire trip, we made it to the hot springs nearly every day. i’ve never gone to outdoor hot springs in below freezing weather. it was quite the experience. one time, it even snowed while we were inside the hot springs!
our first morning at the resort. coffee time 🙂
pre-snowboarding at heavenly, a resort that spans the stateline of california and nevada
don’t be fooled by kelvin’s outfit. it was 15 degrees fahrenheit.
kelvin finally gave in a bought a face mask because his face was frozen solid.
