Our Trip To Tenaya Lodge


On Monday the whole Patricio family spent the day at Tenaya Lodge.  We were supposed to do the sleigh ride, but it was canceled due to weather.  Down the hill a little bit there is also a train ride, but that was closed due to the weather as well.  Instead we hung out and decorated ornaments, ice skated, and had a nice dinner.  The Tenaya Lodge is beautiful.  Right when you enter there is a huge Christmas tree and beautiful decor all around.  The staff was pleasant and it was a great day.  There is snow all around the lodge, so we were able to play in the snow a little bit and show Kennedy snow for the first time.  I told Blake we should definitely go back every year as a family.  It is a fun semi-local destination with so much to do with the kids like ice skating, sleigh rides, the train ride, gingerbread house decorating, ornament and stocking decorating and more!  All these events are scheduled on certain days and there is a cost for each one of them, but it is totally worth the drive.  They even have dinner with Santa and breakfast with Santa!
