Ann’s parents have an invitation from a cousin to use their cabin for the weekend – a boon for sure. We coordinate this with a visit from my dad and Sarah to create a small family gathering.
I stop with Ann’s parents Bob and Carol at the great overlook on the Mount Rose Highway.

Soon enough we’re all at the cabin.

As our first outing we head to Emerald bay in blissful weather.

We hatch a plan to take Dad and Sarah’s folding bikes down the Vikingsholm access road, until we see the “no bikes” sign.

The dock in front of Vikingsholm provides a nice snack spot before we look at the mansion.
