Guided Tour of Lake Tahoe and Thunderbird Lodge – Pictures

Days of a Domestic Dad disclosure travel

During an amazing trip to the Reno Tahoe area Staci and I recently took a boat tour of Lake Tahoe and Thunderbird Lodge. Over all, one of our favorite parts of the trip was taking a boat ride across Lake Tahoe to Thunderbird Lodge. The mountain backdrop with crystal clear water could not compare to any place I have seen before. Words cannot do the area justice… and I am not even sure my pictures will either. But, I thought the best way to share would be to simply show you a handful of the views we captured as we rode across Lake Tahoe.

Cruise Lake Tahoe

Our adventure shoved off from Zephyr Cove Resort aboard Cruise Tahoe. The Tahoe has been cruising Lake Tahoe since 1950. She is a custom high speed cruiser built entirely of wood and originally carried passengers from Tahoe City to Emerald Bay, the South Shore, and other stops around the lake. They are booking for  public tours, weddings, or charters.

Thunderbird Lodge

The magical Thunderbird Lodge National Historic Site is the centerpiece of Thunderbird Lake Tahoe. This historic home of George Whittell, Jr. is a museum and learning center for the charitable programs of the non-profit Thunderbird Lodge Preservation Society.

It was Whittell’s “summer cottage” on Lake Tahoe and consists of 2 master bedrooms, a great room complete with movie screen, 3 additional bedrooms for servants and a fully functional kitchen with the original appliances.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
