Back to Reno – 17/03/18

Still basking in the thoughts of the warm weather we may be in soon, Reno didn’t seem so cold today.  It is still -4 outside.

Managed to have a healthy breakfast at the hotel and tried to make the best of our situation of cold weather and a hotel full of all-day drinkers, smokers, and slots.

Even managed to do some school work with the kids.

We really should do as Beavis and Butthead would, and “get me some slots” 😳.

Decided instead to introduce the next generation to gambling and took the boys to the kid’s arcade area at Circus Circus, gave them $20 on an arcade card and told them to knock themselves out. I think Wes could easily walk away with a gambling addiction, he was giddy with excitement.

After the money and the winners rush was gone we spent some time walking around the undercover sin city and managed some lunch at a food court.

I could easily get into day time drinking here.

After lunch, we had a small walk downtown and found the theatre where I will hopefully see the Sound of Music musical tomorrow.

Looks like the show will be weather dependent. They had to cancel today’s show as the road from San Francisco to Reno is still closed and the actors can’t get through.

Back to the hotel, catch up on work and then back down to the Cas for a dinner of Joy Noodles and another night in.  Pete was going to go to a local basketball game but the thought of rugging up for the snow and cold outside lost out to the four walls of our hotel room and the potential of watching Friends.
