Highlights from Tahoe!

I'm back! I've been gone the last few days to Lake Tahoe for a family ski trip and vacation. And of course, I took plenty of photos! Here are just some highlights...

The AMAZING view coming into the lake.

 Relaxing in the condo, simple games, fun times.

 Not Gambling, but playing in the arcade.

 And winning really big money.

 The ride up the Heavenly gondola to do some snowboarding

 Snowboarding until my legs fall off, (my mama took this one)

Coming home to these wonderful snow dusted condos everyday

 Eating great like this: walnut cinnamon roll

 Horseback riding in the valley (Taken by our guide before hitting the trail)

 

The horse trail itself, and just the day before, we were snowboarding on that exact mountain behind us

A Local Tribute

Meet Paddy. The wonderful and charismatic owner of "Paddy's Coffee Shop" In old alvarado, Union City. I had the joy of meeting him earlier today to photograph him for the union city Patch.

He is being featured on the patch for his work with the "Princess Donations" Its a small local group that is helping collect prom dresses for girls that may not be able to fully afford prom this year. It is not only for girls though, this group is also taking in donations for tuxedos and suits for young men. It is really a great cause. Prom is the one night a teenager can really dress and feel the part of a "Princess". If you have any prom dresses or suits that you will be willing to donate, please contact me at cassandramanansala@ymail.com and I will forward you to the organizer. 

Snow trip!

I'm taking a snowboarding trip to Lake Tahoe with some family and friends. I'm so excited, I like to take pictures when I pack. Stay tune for gorgeous images of Tahoe in a few days! Eeeek! I can't wait to leave already!

Burton Feather snowboard, Checkered Green and orange Burton snowboard pants, B by Burton snowboarding boots, Oakley ski goggles, and my Dub snow jacket!

and the latest addition to my snowboard, LAPINKONE.COM sticker.
