Out in Reno

We had a pretty laid back weekend with some spring-like weather. Micah worked in the yard and planted some flowers and veggies using a start-up kit. On Saturday night we joined our friends, Kim and Bob, for a night out. They took us to a Japanese restaurant where the chefs prepare the meal right at your table.....it was pretty expensive, but the food was delicious!! Then we went to a couple of bars in downtown Reno, had some drinks, listened to a band, and stayed out WAY too late! We're getting too old for that!
Now that's a drink!!!

From Flurries to Flowers

We had a good weekend! It started on Friday night with swing dance lessons. We just started an eight-week class and I think it's going to be fun! Kelly got to go shopping at the new mall in Reno. We took a trip off the hill (in California) and into spring time. And Kelly got to go shopping again. Oh yeah and Kelly is officially old now.

The shopping does not need much description, but the trip to the hill country was cool. We tasted some good wines and found this cool glass blowing gallery where we watched the guy make some pretty cool pieces. Kelly was supposed to take a glider ride this morning, but we had to postpone it due to bad weather....it snowed almost all day long! I bought Kelly a new camera for her birthday so here are some pictures.


we saw a dog sled at Kirkwood

We hung out at the beach this weekend.....it was a little cold for bathing suits but the dogs sure had fun! We got about a foot of snow on Friday and it's been snowing off and on all weekend long. Micah went to Kirkwood Ski Resort with some friends on Saturday and had blast in all the fresh powder! Saturday night we went to Reno and had dinner at our friend's house. Sunday we skied a few runs at Heavenly.

Alyssa's Visit to Tahoe

Alyssa came this weekend for her second visit since we've lived here. I took her to Virginia City where we drank a bloody mary at the Bucket of Blood Saloon....a band was playing and most of the customers were dressed up in old-timer western costumes. It was pretty funny. We also went to Reno and Lake Tahoe of course. The lake was looking gloomy today because a storm was blowing in. It was really great to spend some time with her!!!

Got Wood?

Burton Custom LE

My new snow board came in today. I ordered it online at sierrasnowboard.com so I wasn't sure what I would be getting. It is a Burton custom and it looks like it has alligator skin on it. The important thing is that it is in one piece! A big storm is coming in tonight so hopefully its first outing will be a good one.
