Thriving tots

The Riverman • Truckee River Rafting might be the BEST family activity in Lake Tahoe! 🚣 The float is about 2-3 hours depending on if you stop, which we did to have lunch and take a swim 🥪 💦 If you have kids bring a water gun, it’s river culture to sq**rt passerby’s and my kids loved it. We didn’t have a dry bag for our towels/toys but the store was nice enough to give us trash bag that worked perfectly 🫶🏼

If you guys haven’t been to yet at this is your chance to win lunch on us! 🇮🇹

We had the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata which had this amazing Calabrian vinaigrette, then tried the kale & goat cheese salad with fresh strawberries which was PERFECT for spring. My absolute favorite thing had to be the Hot Honey & smoked Prociutto pizza, which was like a charcuterie board on a pizza.. SO GOOD! 🍕

Ever think you and your friends would kill it on a Game show? Head to to see if you have it what it takes 🏆 Their set was so realistic..they even have a dedicated host, multiple types of games and a scoreboard!
