by: TahoeKidsGuide.com As Valentines Day approaches, the kids and I went in search of a place to make a special gift for Dad. Gifts that are hand-made by children are treasures. My mom kept a clay cast of my hand made in kindergarten. Some time in the 70's it dropped and broke into, exactly, nine pieces. Mom lovingly glued each piece back together and replaced the handprint in the china cabinet.

Lake Tahoe is a very family-friendly destination. The natural wonder of Lake Tahoe is great for exploring outside. Where your family chooses to stay at Lake Tahoe depends upon what your family likes to do and in what setting.Generally speaking, South Lake Tahoe is more "developed" with large chain hotels and brand name stores. Most of the activities are centered around Heavenly Mountain
