Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe is another picturesque destination. The lake is large and clear blue and there are a variety of beaches and parks to choose from.

The lake is in the mountains and there are some spectacular views.

Lake Tahoe is very beautiful and worth the trip.  I found the towns around the lake to be a lot like any NJ shore town, but I guess you have to have things that will amuse the kids.
