san francisco-part 1-reno

i'm growing quite fond of the open road.
just leaving it all behind even if it's just for a weekend.
the sites along the way were breathtaking.
and i promise i love getting lost in conversation and having hours on end to listen to your favorite music.
there truly is nothing better than a good, wholesome road trip with your best friend.
and being able to stop at any place you want along the way.
having zero set schedule. i'm tellin ya, nothing beats it.

we got to reno, settled in, and hit up an awesome buffet at the peppermill hotel.
yes, we did gamble for a bit-lost 15 dollars, got ornery, then left.
i seriously HATE HATE losing money to those freaking slot machines.
because i get there really honestly thinking that i at least have a chance of coming out ahead.
never ever happens.

but those of you who have never been to reno-highly recommend it.
it's like a clean miniature version of vegas.
we loved it there!
then we headed to good old san francisco the next morning...

1...I HATE that drive, except when you get to Reno, and it is all beautiful through California, but Nevada is boring and LONG.

2...Have we ever told you our Reno hotel story? Not exactly the cute experience you had.

Sounds like a fun trip already, can't wait to hear the rest!

i too feel like i will win if i gamble- like i for some reason deserve to win. and win big. obviously you arent ment to win, like i will one day. if i ever go to reno, i will find that 15 dollars you lost, and return it.
