For Valentine's Day this year, we ended up heading away from the coast. Motivated by our son's extraordinary eagerness to see snow, we went up to Lake Tahoe. We stayed at the Resort at Squaw Creek. ]www.squawcreek.com We ended up in a blizzard. It was great.
Livingsocial.com sometimes offers pretty good deals for stays up at Tahoe, including Squaw. We met some families who live just down the hill from the Tahoe area, in Auburn, who were using a livingsocial.com coupon deal. We met them while they were using a s'more kit from the Sweet Potatoes Deli at the resort (Sandy's Pub also has s'mores kits, and is near one of the fire-pits at the resort). They were generous enough to share one of their s'mores with our son.
We went iceskating at the rink at the resort. This was our son's first ever iceskating experience. The rink is small - the perfect size for a little person like our 3-year old. They also have equipment for little people, including small skates down to size 6 and a rail-bar to hold onto.
We had lunch at The Auld Dubliner in Squaw Villiage. We highly recommend the potato skins and also the corned beef sliders. It's a great place to have a beer and some yummy comfort food! Especially in the middle of a blizzard.
Our dinner at Plumpjack at the Squaw village was excellent. The restaurant was a little too dark for our son, who wanted to stay in the bar area. I would highly recommend the Plumpjack for romantic dinners for two, but not as much for a family dinner. That said, the waiters did a fantastic job; truly excellent service.
