South Lake Tahoe 29. 3. - 1. 4. 2018

This year we didn't get to enjoy much snow because we thought that going to cold weather with a newborn is not a good idea. Since California got some late snow and the temperatures were relatively high, we decided to take a mini vacation and go to Tahoe for some skiing/snowshoeing in the spring. On Thursday and Friday I tried to teach Adam how to ski in the morning and in the afternoon I skied by myself while Eric took care of Emma and Adam. On Saturday and Sunday we went for hikes in the area.

Tento rok jsme si snehu moc neuzili, protoze jsme uznali za vhodne nebrat novorozene do zimy. Jelikoz v Kalifornii nasnezilo i na konci zimi a teploty byly pomerne vysoke, rozhodli jsme se vyrazit na malou dovolenou na Tahoe na jare. Ve ctvrek a patek jsem se  rano pokousela ucit Adamka lyzovat a odpoledne jsem lyzovala sama, zatimco se Eric staral o Emmicku a Adamka. V sobotu a nedeli jsme vyrazily na sneznice.

Hawaii - Oahu 10. - 18. 2. 2018

In February we took our first vacation with two children. Hawaii sounded like a good option for young kids. Originally we were hoping to visit Maui, since we haven't been there. Since we were booking this trip relatively late, the accommodation on Maui was very expensive, so we decided to go back to Oahu. This vacation with two small children was quite a work, but we had fun. The weather wasn't great, but we still managed to go about 3 times to beach, take a snorkeling tour and visited other beautiful sites in Oahu.

V unoru jsem jeli na nasi prvni dovolenou se dvema detma. Hawaj se zdala jako dobra volba pro dve male deti. Puvodne jsme chteli jet na Maui, protoze jsme tam jeste nebyli. Jelikoz jsme ale reservovali tento vylet pomerne pozde, tak ubytovani na Maui bylo velice drahe a tak jsme se rozhodli pro Oahu. Tato dovolena se dvema malyma detma byla docela prace, ale uzili jsme si to. Pocasi nebylo nejlepsi, ale i tak jsme se dostali asi 3 krat na plaz, jeli snorklovat a navstivili dalsi prekrasna mista na Oahu.

Czech Christmas dinner and Holiday party 9. - 10. 12. 2017

It has become a tradition to host early Czech Christmas dinner and Holiday party at the same weekend. This time it was even a little bit earlier, since I was 38 weeks pregnant at that point and we weren't sure when the little girl will decide to show up.
We had 12 adults and 9 children for our Czech dinner and 11 adults and 6 children for our party. It was a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving - Soda Springs 23. - 26. 11. 2017

This year we went with three other families to Soda Springs area, close to Truckee/Lake Tahoe. There was a little snow in the area, but not too much. We did a few walks around the area and also managed one trip to local swimming pool. It was nice and relaxing long weekend.

Tento rok jsme jeli se tremi dalsimi rodinami do oblasti Soda Sprins, blizko Truckee/Jezera Tahoe. V oblasti bylo trochu snehu, ale ne prilis. Vysli jsme na nekolik malych prochazek v oblasti a taky jsme si vyrazili zaplavat do mistniho bazenu. Byl to pekny odpocinkovy prodlouzeny vikend.

Yosemite 11. - 12. 11. 2017

Yosemite is place where I love to go and we managed to find one weekend even this busy fall to get there. We stayed at Half Dome (Curry) village again and on Saturday we hiked around Mirror lake. It was quite cold and since we stayed in the valley it took long time to warm up. After the hike we went to Majestic (Ahwahnee) hotel for hot chocolate and then for dinner to Yosemite lodge. Usually it would be relatively short bus drive, but there was construction going on in the valley and the busses were late, overcrowded and it took long time to get to the destination.
On Sunday we drove to Glacier point where we took a few family and pregnancy photos, enjoyed lunch and relatively early head home.

Yosemite je misto kam vzdy rada jezdim a i tento nabity podzim jsme nasli vikend, kdy jsme se tam vypravili. Znovu jsme prespavali v Half Dome (Curry) village a v sobotu jsme vyrazili na turu kolem jezera Mirror. Bylo docela chladno a jelikoz jsme byli v udoli, tak to chvili trvalo nez se oteplilo. Po vyslapu jsme jeli do Majestic (Ahwahnee) hotelu na kakako a pak na veceri do Yosemite lodge. Vetsinou je toto pomerne kratka cesta autobusem, ale protoze v udoli probiha rekonstrukce cest tak autobusy jezdi se zpozdenim, jsou precpane a cety trvaji hodne dlouho.
V nedeli jsem vyjeli na Glacier point, kde jsme udelali nekolik rodinnych a tehotenskych fotek, uzili si obed a pomerne brzo pak vyrazili domu.

Boca Spring camping 1. - 4. 9. 2017

Our last camping trip for this year was at Boca Spring campground near Truckee. We had about 8 other families joining us. In the Bay area where we live were extreme heats, so we managed to escape a little. It was still hot, so on Saturday we took it quite lazy and stayed most of the day at the camp. We went only for little swim at the lake in the afternoon. On Sunday we all went for a short hike, that we ended by splashing at a creek. We also got a little rain, so that cooled off the air. On Monday we did only very short walks to the Boca spring that was at the camp and we stopped to look at the Boca dam. Because it was a long weekend and people were also driving back from Burning Man, we got stuck in the traffic and arrived home around 6 pm.

Nase posledni kempovani tento rok bylo v Boca Spring kempu pobliz Truckee. Dalsich asi 8 rodin se k nam pripojilo. V Bay Area, kde bydlime, byly extremni horka a tak jsme alespon trochu tomu unikli. Bylo i tak horko a tak jsme v Sobotu nic moc nedelali a zustali vetsinu dne v kempu. Zasli jsme se jen kratce okoupat odpoledne do jezera. V nedeli jsme vsichni vyrazili na kratky vyslap, ktery jsme zakoncili ochlazenim se v potoku. Taky nam trochu zaprselo, coz prineslo male ochlazeni. V pondeli jsme se sli jen projit k pramenu Boca, ktery byl v kempu a zastavili jsme se u prehrady Boca. Protoze byl prodlouzeny vikend a lide se take vraceli z akce "Burning Man", dostali jsme se do zacp a domu jsme dorazili az kolem 18 h.
