mmmmmmmmmmm Sushi

Before our trip I tried to do a little research for stuff to do at Tahoe. I found a blog that had a list of restaurants one must try. I'd never had sushi before, Josh has and loves it, so I decided to give it a try. We went to this cute little place called Off The Hook Sushi. It was delicious!

First we had a spicy tuna roll (with cucumber and green onion). It was good, but a little too spicy for me.



























Next we had my very favorite. It was called the superstar (unagi (eel), salmon, cream cheese and macadamia nuts).



























We sat at the sushi bar, it was fun to get to talk to the guy making our sushi. He even gave us a few things "on the house". He gave me an avocado roll when I was complaining that the tuna was too spicy. Then he gave us some seared albacore with garlic. It was soooo good. Almost tasted like steak, same consistency too.



























Then we got talking about unagi and he was telling us it tastes like chicken. I'm sorry...I had no desire to eat EEL! But he made these for us and the seriously tasted like teriyaki chicken. It was delicious. I just couldn't think about what I was eating and just think about how tasty it was.



























I guess I loved it all!! The strange thing was the sushi makers (for lack of a better word) were totally getting drunk. They both had a big glass of beer and were doing Saki shots. They probably thought we were weird for not drinking. It is so different than being in Utah, that's for sure. We went to a brewery on Saturday for lunch and we kept telling the guy we were good with our water, but he kept asking us if we wanted some beer. Guess that's what we get for going to a brewery. The food was delicious though! :)

so long, camera!

Friday was our first real day at Tahoe. We didn't leave the room until after 11, so since it was noon at home we decided to go find some lunch. We ended up at a restaurant in the bottom of the hotel. I don't have pictures because I had left my camera in the car. Sad.

After lunch we decided to drive around a bit. We ended up at this beach (the first one we could find access to). We parked and decided to see how the water felt. It was quite nice at first, but the further out we walked, the cooler it got. Josh kept going out pretty far so I went back to the beach and took a picture to show how far out he was.

So then he walked back in a little while I walked out to him. I wanted a picture of us together, so here we are...nothing like taking a picture of yourself! :)

Then I took this picture of Josh...

...and I handed him the camera so he could take a picture of me in the lake. I turned around to take a couple steps away so I wasn't so close. I heard a "plunk" sound and turned around to see the worst...the camera was in the lake and Josh was hurrying to fish it out! So sad. I wanted to cry. :( I don't blame Josh, ok...so I did. lol But it really wasn't his fault. He was holding it by the wrist strap, putting it on his wrist, so he wouldn't drop it. And that's when it happened. The screw holding that to the camera broke off or something and the camera fell to it's watery death.

So that is the last picture taken with my camera. Time to get a new one...I can't live without a camera...especially with these babies growing so quickly. Hopefully I get something soon!! We put the camera in a bag of rice and got it all dried out. It turns on and lets me view picture on the internal memory on the camera. But the lens is all screwed up, so when you try to take a picture it stays black, makes some funky noises, and then turns off.
