Lake Tahoe Day 3

Here I am at home, and it has been almost a week since I got back from skiing, and I'm still on Day 3 with my pictures. I do intend to write a unique blog post about each day though. This one took almost three hours to do, so I'm not sure how long it will take to finish doing all the pictures. However, I was more through with Day 3, and I used most of the pictures I had taken in this post compared to Day 2 or Day 1. I'll see how much patience I have.
