First Time Visitor to Ridge Tahoe Late Sept. 2008

[Q=susiesnow] Hi All- I am a senior-type woman exchanging into the Ridge Tahoe beginning 9/21 until 9/28/08. My adult son and adult daughter will accompany me. We're from Ohio and have never been to Tahoe; we'll be flying into Sacramento and driving up, and returning to Sacramento the night before flying out. We already know there are no rooms with twin or two beds at the Ridge. I'm also wondering is they have any accessible rooms, which would be more comfortable for me. We plan to sightsee around the lake, a lake cruise, possibly a visit to Carson City or Virginia City; also a show, if something good in on at the time. I would like to use an indoor pool if it's accessible. What can you frequent visitors to Tahoe share to make our visit memorable? We realize it can get cool at night; I'm wondering if I should be concerned about the altitude. Any dining tips- we prefer casual and healthy? Thanks for any and all help.[/Q] If you are staying in a two bedroom then you sleep six because of the couch/sleeper. Virginia City is a must and its only about 30 minutes outside of Carson City. Also Reno trip would be fun and is about 1-1:15 minutes from the Ridge. We own two units and always drive down the hill about 10 minutes to the Chart House one night and Wally's resort has a great place to eat and foods you wouldn't believe. Also of coarse casino's in south shore and north shore to visit. We always drive around the lake and have lunch in north shore. They have a early dinner cruise on the lake on The Dixie Queen or late dinner and dancing. Go on Tripadvisor and check out Lake Tahoe Forum for more information. PHIL
