Friday. Day 1 of the bachelor party for Matt. I got picked up but my twin brother, Scott, who was driving Matt’s buddy Sean and we later picked up Brian at Sacramento airport on the way. We arrived at the rental house shortly before sunset and it was a great opportunity for pictures that Lake Tahoe is known for - that clear blue water with the scenic snow covered mountain tops. As the night went on many more of Matt’s friends arrived. We enjoyed drinks, shooting pellet guns and potato launchers, a remarkably good dinner and a round of shots. Matt’s buddy Mike, who did all of the planning for the weekend, and coincidentally was the previous owner of my old catamaran sailboat, ordered these custom koozies for everyone. It was great to see all of Matt’s friends, most of whom I’ve known, all gathering together.
