WOW our weekend was jam packed with driving, eating and fun. Since it’s Monday and I missed blogging for 3 nights, I’ll put them all on one. Friday we headed up to Reno for a Wedding. Our friends Nicole and Mark were getting married on Saturday. Friday we met Nicole & Mark and the rest of their families at the Peppermill buffet for dinner. It was yummy and I actually made some good food choices as did DH except for the deep fried shrimp he had. =) Jake can’t pass up some good shrimp and me being the crab lover that I am couldn't pass it up.
While Jake slept in on Saturday morning, I actually got up @ 7:45am and made it down to the gym at the hotel for a 35 minute walk on the treadmill, then headed back up to the room to shower and change to meet the bride to help decorate the reception hall. Went to the wedding and reception which was really beautiful. She made a lovely bride. Mark made a handsome groom. They look so happy. Niki's daughter Arielle was junior bridesmaid and Mark's son Justin was a Groomsmen.
We stayed at the Peppermill Casino in Reno and it was really great. We got a suite in the Tuscany Tower. It’s a new wing at the casino. They are doing a lot of newly renovated rooms and adding new buildings on at the hotel. It’s getting bigger and bigger every time we’ve gone back. I being the scrapbooker, took lots of pics of the room. Here are a few. If you ever go to Reno and need a place to stay, this is the place for you. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We highly recommend it.

Ahh, must not forget to add in some pics of the Bride & Groom as well. They look so cute together. Congrats again Niki & Mark. We had a lovely time and thanks for inviting us.

Sunday we slept in, had breakfast, did a little swimming in the pool @ the hotel, played a little bit in the casino and then headed to meet Nicole for lunch. We stayed in Reno till around 6 and headed home. It was such a busy weekend and we weren’t even the bride and groom. LOL! On our way out of Reno we stopped at Cabela's. It's a HUGE outdoor sports activities like fishing, hiking, boating, camping...the possibilities are endless store. It was like walking into a mall but instead of clothing, you had outdoor sporting equipment. You need it, they most likely will have it. Any person who likes outdoor activities, would like this store. You'll act as if you are a kid in a candy store. =)
Also on our little venture home, we found a new restaurant on the way home too and it was really yummy. It's called Sierra Grill, located in Auburn, CA. If you are ever up near or in Auburn, stop in and have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Prices are good and food is yummy.
Before I close for the blog for today, I found this interesting to pass on. I saw a segment on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet. The segment was Superfoods That’ll Change Your Life! It was quite interesting. Here’s the link, these foods are said to be the top 10 foods we should be eating for a healthy life. Some of these foods I've never even heard of but thought it was neat. I like beets so nothing stops me from eating those. =) HAHA. Enjoy!!!

Thanks for sharing your blog with me Laura! I loved looking at all your pictures and that place in Reno looks fantabulous! Glad you are enjoying your time.
I too, am working on the whole losing weight thing and hopefully, I'll get back on track with it again, after a week of camp food, ha ha.
