Ah, sunny morning!
calls for a sunny breakfast
Heading out east, following small roads towards Lake Tahoe.

Pulling off at Lake Amador for a sunny lunch picnic

Zooming along hwy 4, 88, 49, and 50.
old gold towns along 49
Placerville
Yep, that's us, right there.
Grabbing some birch branches for an Easter bunch....probably a very Swedish thing.
Further up, 50 is almost closed off...
...due to a gigantic mudslide. They worked around the clock for almost a week cleaning up this one.
[this is also a Volvo! :-]
...and so, the lake appears before us.
arriving at Villa Bernard
Lukas swings by to greet us
-What do Swedes and sunflowers have in common?
welcome dinner - and a good glass of wine
Chuck, Erika, Dad, Hanna
